Requires an LP360 Drone license, plus the raw workflow requires that a DJI L1/L2 Cloud Batch Processing cloud add-on license be assigned to the LP360 Online user.
The DJI Cloud Processing tool, located on the DJI tab, is used to prepare DJI LiDAR datasets for processing. The dialog allows a user to submit raw DJI Zenmuse L1 and DJI Zenmuse L2 missions to process using PPK or RTK trajectory solutions through LP360 Cloud. This dialog allows for multi-cycle submission at the click of a button. If processing PPK data, base observation files are required.
The DJI Cloud Processing dialog (Figure 1) is displayed as a single, wide, horizontally scrollable grid. Figures 2 and 3 simply display the left and right portions of this same dialog with mixed processed and raw (RTK and PPK).
Purpose
This dialog is used to:
- Review flight cycles imported using Import Cycle
- Validate flight metadata (timing, duration, image counts, folders, etc.)
- For Raw cycles:
- Select RTK or PPK mode
- Provide required base station files
- Configure geodetic reference settings
- Submit Cycles for Cloud Processing
- For Processed cycles:
- Confirm metadata
- Submit the Cycle for RPJ job creation in the LP360 Job Manager
- Processed Cycles do not interact with Cloud.
Dialog Layout
The dialog consists of a single table with columns extending horizontally.
Scroll left-to-right to access all metadata and configuration fields.
Left Portion – Flight Overview
This region lists all flight cycles identified during import via the Cycle Import Tool.
-
Message
Displays error, warning, and information indicators. -
Cycle
The Cycle identifier assigned during Cycle Import. -
Type
Indicates one of the following:- Raw – Unprocessed data requiring DJI Cloud Processing
- Processed – A dataset already processed in DJI Terra Desktop or DJI Terra Cloud
- Start/End Time (UTC)
- Duration (MM:SS)
- Area
- Ancillary Files
- Total Images
- Raw Flight Folder
-
RTK/PPK Mode
Applicable to Raw cycles only.
Indicates whether LP360 should apply onboard RTK information or prepare the cycle for PPK correction.
Right Portion – RTK/PPK & Base Station Configuration
This portion becomes visible when scrolling horizontally.
These fields apply only to Raw cycles, because Raw cycles require geodetic configuration prior to Cloud submission.
- RTK/PPK Mode
- RTK Geographic CRS
- RTK Epoch
- PPK Base Station Files
- Marker Name / Reference Mark
- Base Latitude / Base Longitude / Base Height
- Antenna Height
- Base Frame / Base Epoch / Base Ellipsoid
Processed cycles do not use these fields.
They appear but are not editable and are ignored when submitting a job.
Actions
-
Base Observation Files (Raw cycles only)
Some processing tasks require GNSS base station observation files. TheBase Observation Files button allows for the optional input of base station observation files which LP360 will automatically correlate with the applicable Cycle/Flight. Note: If you are not using a Single Base strategy (i.e., RTK) you can skip this step.
-
Submit Job(s)
Behavior depends on the cycle type:-
Raw cycles → Creates a DTC job in the LP360 Job Manager
which submits the Cycle for Cloud Processing
-
Processed cycles → Creates an RPJ job in the LP360 Job Manager
-
Raw cycles → Creates a DTC job in the LP360 Job Manager
-
Close
Exits the dialog.
How to use DJI Cloud Processing
LP360 uses the Import Cycle tool to bring L1 and L2 flights into the project.
Once imported, cycles appear in the DJI Cloud Processing dialog.
Raw Workflow (L1 & L2)
(Raw cycles are the only Cycles that submit to Cloud)
-
Import Raw flight cycles using the Import Cycle
tool.
- Review metadata in the DJI Cloud Processing dialog.
- Select RTK or PPK.
- If PPK is selected:
- Add base observation files using
Base Observation Files.
- Enter or confirm base station coordinate information.
- Add base observation files using
- Verify CRS and epoch values.
- Press Submit Job(s) to send the Cycles for Cloud Processing.
- Complete the DTC job in Job Manager
to add the results to the project.
Cloud Output May Include:
- Processed trajectory
- LiDAR point cloud
- Optional imaging outputs depending on payload configuration

Processed Workflow (L1 & L2)
(Processed Cycles never send data to Cloud)
Processed Cycles include datasets previously processed in DJI Terra Desktop or DJI Terra Cloud. These datasets contain completed corrections (e.g., trajectory, boresight, calibration).
-
Import Processed flight cycles using the Import Cycle
tool.
- Review metadata in the DJI Cloud Processing dialog.
- No RTK/PPK settings are required as the geodetic configuration is already embedded.
- Pres Submit Job(s) to generate an RPJ job in the LP360 Job Manager.
- Complete the RPJ job in Job Manager
to add the results to the project.
This submission instructs LP360 to begin local processing within the LP360 ecosystem, using the completed DJI-provided trajectory.
