When the data is selected the mission will appear in a window similar to that shown above. This
is where the user can interact with the raw data and set postprocessing and fusion settings.
In the top right hand corner of the software the mission details will be presented. This includes
the date and time of the mission, the data path, payload ID and the mission duration. Also
present within this window will be an indicator if the dataset is post processed or not as well as
the availability of base data.
9.4.2 Post Processing
It is necessary to post processes data against a base station. This will significantly improve data
accuracy and precision. This step within the Nextcore software performs a PPK solution on the
trajectory of the payload against a stationary base observer.
This is achieved through cloud processing and will require an internet connection cable of
uploading and downloading up to 300MB of data. This process uploads only the flight path,
IMU and selected base data to be processed to create an accurate lidar trajectory. Post
processing a flight will take up to 3 times the flight time however can be much shorter
depending on the nature of the flight path. Once a flight is post processed against a base
station it will be held in the cloud and will not need to be post processed again.
Lidar point data is not uploaded or stored in the cloud, it is kept locally on your computer to
protect your scan information - make sure you keep backups.
