Requires an LP360 Drone or Land Standard license.

The LP360 Sensor Processing Launcher , located in the Cycle Processing group on the Sensor tab, is a convenient way to process multiple processing steps and/or multiple cycles at the same time, queuing all the tasks in the Job Manager . The Sensor Processing Launcher allows users to conveniently queue multiple tasks from one or more Cycles.

Multi-Cycle Processing Enabled by Unlimited Add-on

For users with an LP360 Drone or Land Standard license, the Sensor Processing Launcher may be used to start multiple processing tasks for a single Cycle for improved multi-Cycle processing automation by enabling Job Manager queuing for sensor Trajectory Processing , Geocoding , or SLAM Processing . While an Unlimited add-on license allows for simultaneous configuration of multiple Cycles for efficient multi-Cycle processing with minimal user interaction.

Using the Sensor Processing Launcher

Processing Task Selection

On the first page of the Sensor Processing Launcher, select the desired processing tasks to be performed. Note: Disabled tasks are not supported for the Cycles in the project and/or license.

Figure 2: Processing Task selection

Processing Type

• Trajectory Processing: Creates and submits a sensor Trajectory Processing job for each selected Cycle using the default or edited settings, as selected by the user. ONLY available for Cycles from TrueView 3DIS UAV and mobile lidar and imaging scanners with an LP360 Drone license.
• Geocoding: Creates and submits a Geocoding job for each selected Cycle using the default or edited settings, as selected by the user. ONLY available for Cycles from TrueView 3DIS UAV and mobile lidar and imaging scanners with an LP360 Drone license.
• SLAM: Creates and submits a SLAM Processing job for each selected Cycle using the default or edited settings, as selected by the user. ONLY available for Cycles from handheld lidar and imaging scanners, such as the TrueView GO handheld scanners with an LP360 Land Standard license.

Note: More tasks to be added in future updates to LP360.

Processing Task Configuration

For each selected Processing Type, there will be a processing page for the user to make the Cycle selection, determine settings for each, and add any applicable extra information needed for that processing. 

Base Observation Files

Some processing tasks require GNSS base station observation files. TheBase Obs 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., SLAM, RTK, smartBase or PP-RTX) you can skip this step. 

Cycle Selection

Select the Cycles on which to perform the selected processing tasks. Use the Select All/Select None   buttons to assist.

Processing Task Settings

Default Settings: Indicate the Cycle will be processed with the default settings.

Edited Settings: Indicate the Cycle will be processed with user configured settings. For each Cycle, configure the desired settings for the task by selecting the "Settings" Icon to open the task specific settings window and select the desired settings. For example, the sensor Trajectory Processing - Input settings page.

Copy Task Settings from Cycle to Cycle(s)

To copy settings from one Cycle to another in the case of sharing the same settings between Cycles:

1. Select the Cycle with the desired settings, then select, "Copy".
2. Select the Cycle(s) to process with the same settings, then select "Paste".
   1. Note: Use CTRL or SHIFT and select to select multiple Cycles.

Running Multiple Processing Tasks

If the user has selected more than one Processing Task on the first page of the Sensor Processing Launcher, then press Next/Previous to move to review and configure the next/previous processing task. On the page for the last task, select Finish to submit all the tasks to the Job Manager .

Figure 7: Last task

A message will appear showing that all the jobs from each task have been sent to the Job Manager .

Figure 8: Sensor Processing submitted

Open the Job Manager to monitor the status of each job. Once a job has finished processing, select the job and then Complete Job to complete the job and add the results to your project.
