9 NextCore Software

The section will outline the Nextcore software supplied with each unit. The nextcore software

is used to develop usable .las/ .laz files from the lidar sensor. This software requires an internet

connection to authenticate, post process the flight and download map data.

9.1 Basic information

9.1.1 Installation

The nextcore software is provided with each payload with the accompanying USB. To install

this on your local machine all you have to do if copy over the folder with Nextcore Ground

Station and store it on your computer. It is recommended to copy the electronic Nextcore

Ground Station folder provided with each unit onto a known directory.

9.1.2 Calibration

With each Nextcore unit an individual calibration file is provided “lidar.cali”. This is stored in

the same directory as the Nextcore Software. This will be the calibration default for processing

unless another calibration file is required. If this is the case the “lidar.cali” file will need to be

placed within the directory of the desired processing data. This will overwrite the default

calibration and use the new calibration file for this dataset only.

9.1.3 Data Management

All datasets that are captured by the system are sorted under UTC time within a UTC based

date. This is done to prevent confusion when capturing areas within different time zones.

When downloading data from the USB or OBC it will come within a dated folder. This needs to

be pulled to a local directory of the users choosing. Each folder will contain various files that

are linked together through a lidarmeta file. It is important to keep all files within this folder as

missing files will cause a fault in processing.
Best practice is to download to USB thumb drive at the end of each flight, and copy that onto a

PC at the end of the day, and back up the data either to a cloud provider or separate physical

copy.
Aim to always have 3 copies of the raw data.
By default, data will be exported to an “Exports” subdirectory under the dataset.
