Command Line Processing #

PCMasterPro includes the ability to generate trajectory files from the command line. This is typically used when end-users have other versions of Inertial Explorer and choose to not take advantage of the streamlined efficiencies associated with the embedded Inertial Explorer features inside PCMasterProGL.

It is important to note that this post-processing is not iterative like that of PCMasterProGL with embedded Inertial Explorer. It is highly recommended that new users requiring PPK trajectory use PCMasterProGL with embedded Inertial Explorer.

For those that choose this route, the workflow can be summarized in the following steps:

  1. Adding base file to “data” folder
  2. Renaming base file to “basefile”
  3. Navigate to the folder where PCMasterPro is installed
  4. Hold “Shift” and click “RMB” to open the context menu. Click “Open PowerShell window here”
  5. In the command line window type “.\PCMasterProCL.exe” (without quotes)
  6. And specify the path (in quotes) to the project file ppk.pcmp. For example: .\PCMasterProCL.exe “E:\CMD processing\RESEPI-A84786-2024-02-19-13-43-33\ppk.pcmp” noColor 
  7. The “noColor” parameter is necessary to generate an uncolored point cloud
  8. Press Enter. This will start the processing, which may take some time

Below is a list of parameters you can use to process the data:

  1. “.\PCMasterProCL.exe” “MissionFolder\ppk.pcmp” noColor

The CL version of this app always defaults to “noColor” if no third argument is used. This parameter produce a point cloud that is not colored by any images.

  1. “.\PCMasterProCL.exe” “MissionFolder\ppk.pcmp” color

Process the mission in “MissionFolder” defined in the “ppk.pcmp” and produce a colored point cloud. Producing colored point clouds only works for payloads with cameras.

  1. “.\PCMasterProCL.exe” “MissionFolder\ppk.pcmp” both

Process the mission in “MissionFolder” defined in the “ppk.pcmp” and produce a colored point cloud AND a non colored point cloud. Producing colored point clouds only works for payloads with cameras.
