DJI Zenmuse L1 Solutions
The Zenmuse L1 is DJI's first generation LIDAR system. When used with DJI M300 RTK and DJI Terra, the Zenmuse L1 gives you real-time 3D data, efficiently capturing structures and delivering accurate models. This entry level system is a low-cost solution for users who are entering the surveying market.
DJI M300 RTK + DJI Zenmuse L1 + DJI Terra + True View EVO
This hardware and software kit includes the DJI Zenmuse L1, DJI M300 RTK drone, DJI Terra software and True View EVO software. This enables users to fly drone LIDAR missions using the customer’s L1/L2 base station. GeoCue’s EVO software provides an integrated suite of software tools for exploiting data collected from the Zenmuse L1.
Recommended Add-Ons: Metashape for EVO (MfE), StripAlign for EVO (SAfE), True View Reckon Data Hosting Portal
DJI Zenmuse L1 + DJI Terra + True View EVO
This hardware and software kit includes DJI Zenmuse L1, DJI Terra software and True View EVO software. This enables users to fly drone LIDAR missions using their already owned M300 RTK drone and L1/L2 base station. GeoCue’s EVO software provides an integrated suite of software tools for exploiting data collected from the Zenmuse L1.
Recommended Add-Ons: Metashape for EVO (MfE), StripAlign for EVO (SAfE), True View Reckon Data Hosting Portal
True View EVO
GeoCue’s True View EVO software provides an integrated suite of software tools for exploiting data collected from the Zenmuse L1. This is for customers who already own a survey-grade L1/L2 base station, M300 RTK drone, Zenmuse L1 and now need a more comprehensive surveying workflow. For optimal surveying accuracy, GeoCue recommends and offers camera calibration at an additional cost.
Recommended Add-Ons: Metashape for EVO (MfE), StripAlign for EVO (SAfE), True View Reckon Data Hosting Portal, Camera Calibration
True View EVO provides users the ability to:
- Import project control for data QC
- Generate accuracy reports with ease
- Perform volumetric analysis
- Classify data with automatic and interactive tools
- Create and deliver final products
We provide direct support to customers who acquire our bundled solution.
Key features of pairing True View EVO with the DJI Zenmuse P1:
- Virtually manage calibration files
- Process in PPK mode using most L1/L2 base stations
- Automatically gather and download ephemeris files
- Update EXIF tags
- Create photo package that feeds directly into Metashape (can be exported to Pix4D or Context Capture)
- Eliminate bouncing between multiple applications with addition of Metashape for EVO (MfE)
Integrations
Metashape for EVO (MfE)
We have built interfaces directly into our drone mapping processing software, True View EVO, for driving both an embedded version of Metashape (Metashape for EVO, MfE) as well as the full GUI version of Metashape Professional. This design provides a seamless photogrammetric workflow for users of EVO processing software.
Metashape for EVO supports the generation of:
- Block Bundle Adjusted (BBA) imagery improving the positional accuracy
- Point clouds from imagery (“structure from motion”) – typically used in DJI camera workflows
- Orthomosaics
StripAlign for EVO (SAfE)
Data can exhibit small geometric inconsistencies, especially when combining data from multiple flights. BayesMap StripAlign for EVO detects and corrects these errors via an application of sensor-specific mathematical modeling. SAfE is a fully automated process with no need for users to set project-specific “tuning” parameters or to move in and out of the EVO processing environment – press a button and it works!
