Default One-Click Processing #

This feature is generally used to generate a point cloud faster than the Default PPK/RTK GUI method. Users may encounter issues without realizing it, as there is no way to view intermediate results until the final point cloud is projected. Therefore, this method is not recommended for those just starting with RESEPI and PCMasterPro.

Important Notes Before Utilizing One-Click Processing: #

  • The point cloud generated will use all points along the entire trajectory but will apply two preset filters in the cloud:
    • LiDAR field of view according to values in the RESEPI GUI prior to recording.
    • Default 8m to 200m range.
  • The geoid used to process a previous dataset will automatically be applied (PPK only). The default output type is WGS84.
  • For faster processing speed, preset an approximated IMU to Antenna Offset into the GUI prior to recording.

Detailed Procedure: #

  1. After you have finished recording a dataset and shut down the unit, remove the USB thumb drive from the payload and plug it into the PC that will be used for data processing.
  2. Navigate to the root folder where the recorded dataset is contained and copy the entire flight folder locally to the computer for faster processing speeds.
    • If the user has set their own project name through the “Status” page of the GUI, it will be added as a prefix to the automatically generated name below. The generic naming convention for the dataset is as follows: RESEPI-AAAAAA-BBBB-CC-DD-EE-FF-GG
      • AAAAAA: The device’s internally broadcast Wi-Fi SSID.
      • BBBB: The year that the data recording was initialized.
      • CC: The month that the data recording was initialized.
      • DD: The day of the month that the data recording was initialized.
      • EE: The hour of the day (based on 24 hours) that the data recording was initialized.
      • FF: The minute of the day that the data recording was initialized.
      • GG: The second of the day that the data recording was initialized.
  3. For PPK processing, the base station file(s) must be placed within the “data” folder.
    • For RINEX files: Please ensure all of the necessary .YYx files are placed within the “data” folder.
    • For singular base station files (RTCM, Septentrio, etc): Rename this file to “basefile” with no file extension within the “data” folder.
  4. For PPK processing, activate the user’s license within the Local License Manager.
  5. The user can simply right-click the “ppk.pcmp” file or “rtk.pcmp” and select “Process”.
    • This will unpack the data, process the trajectory, and produce the uncolorized and colorized (if a camera is used) point cloud (.las format).
  6. The final clouds will be saved in the “clouds” folder upon completion.
