LP360 Land Users Guide

LP360 is a 64-bit Windows® desktop application used for many years by the LP360 Geospatial community for processing traditional aerial, mobile, and terrestrial tripod laser scanner data. The LP360 Land community is the focus of this Users Guide containing the LP360 workflows for processing and exploiting TrueView and other handheld sensor data. LP360 Land is GeoCue’s LP360 point cloud exploitation product with the addition of a collection of tools and workflows for processing handheld data. LP360 Land is the software used to post-process your raw data to generate a 3D LiDAR point cloud in LAS format, colorize the point cloud, and geotag the images collected. LP360 also has many tools for assessing and processing point cloud data, such as accuracy assessment, automatic and manual ground classification, and contour/ surface generation. LP360 Land is available in the following licensing levels:

• LPViewer – A free viewer level of LP360 for viewing a point cloud.
• LP360 Land – Enables PPK processing for systems, such as the DJI P4P RTK, plus TrueView 2DIS and 3DIS. This is the next generation ASPSuite Advanced and is equivalent to LP360 Standard with the addition of the sensor workflow tools and tools for ground classification and volumetric computations. It is limited to product areas of no more than 10 km² of LAS data. Available as an annual subscription or a perpetual license.
• LP360 Land +3D Accuracy – Enables the automatic detection of Accuracy Stars and related target types. Available as an annual subscription or a perpetual license.
• LP360 Land+Photo – Enables local Ortho Mapping. Available as an annual subscription or a perpetual license.
• LP360 Land+Photogrammetry with Agisoft – Enables local Agisoft Ortho Mapping, if you have a Metashape license, and Cloud based Agisoft Ortho Mapping (using LP360 Points). Available as an annual subscription or a perpetual license.
• LP360 Land+Cloud Photo 3000 – Enables both the local Ortho Mapping, local Agisoft Ortho Mapping processing if you have your own Metashape license, and Cloud based Agisoft Ortho Mapping (includes 3000 photos per month, additional photos may be processed using LP360 Points). Available as an annual subscription license.
• LP360 Land+Strip Align – Enables Strip Align and Strip Adjustment tools for adjusting for dynamic trajectory errors in the dataset. Available as an annual subscription or a perpetual license.
• LP360 Land+Business Intelligence Tools – Enables specific point cloud tasks designed for extraction of non-ground features, such as rail, power lines, buildings, trees. Available as an annual subscription or a perpetual license.
• LP360 Land+Unlimited – this is the same functionally as LP360 Land with the size limit removed. Available as an annual subscription or a perpetual license.
• LP360 Land+Experimental – this is the same functionality as LP360 Land with the addition of features classed as experimental. We may occasionally have features that we call experimental where we have limited access available only to those organizations specifically working with us on those features. Or, at times, a pre-release version being used for training.

The LP360 Land Users Guide covers installation and licensing for LP360 Land, Agisoft LLC Ortho Mapping licenses, and LP360 Strip Align. It also covers in detail the workflow for producing a colorized point cloud, geotagged images, and orthomosaic from the raw data collected by the TrueView GO, and other handheld scanners. For more information on the wide range of tools available in the underlying LP360 point cloud exploitation software, please refer to the LP360 tutorials and various tools, tips, and workflows.
