Why GeoCue?

Teams choose GeoCue for a predictable field-to-office workflow that cuts flights, reduces QC cycles, and speeds delivery without sacrificing accuracy. The TrueView series captures LiDAR and RGB in one pass, and LP360 handles processing, classification, and QA so crews spend less time stitching and more time producing.

  • End-to-End Efficiency: single-flight acquisition with GeoCue TrueView sensors plus LP360 processing shortens time to deliverables and lowers labor overhead.
  • Trusted Processing Platform: LP360 is widely used by recognized agencies and primes for LiDAR QC and production, aligning with real-world procurement and review standards.
  • Fits Budget and Scope: options range from base LiDAR units to survey-grade systems, so you can match accuracy, density, and throughput to each project instead of over-spending.
  • Integrates with Leading UAVs: drop into common fleets including DJI M400, Freefly Astro, and Inspired Flight IF800, with flexible mounting and power options.
  • U.S. Assembly, U.S.-Based Support and Training: hand-assembled hardware, responsive stateside support, and practical training accelerate adoption and minimize downtime.
  •  Deliverables Without Bottlnecks: LP360 outputs industry-standard formats such as LAS/LAZ and GeoTIFF, supports ASPRS-aligned classification workflows, and simplifies review and change requests.

GeoCue LiDAR Industry Applications

LIDAR Point Cloud Map of a highway

Civil Engineering / DOT

DOT and civil teams need survey-ready surfaces and corridor models on tight schedules. GeoCue TrueView captures LiDAR + RGB in one pass, and LP360 standardizes QA/QC, classification, and surface generation for review-ready deliverables.

  • Corridor & ROW Mapping: Single-flight acquisition reduces closures and truck rolls while LP360 classifies ground, extracts breaklines, and builds DTM/DSM and contours for submittals.
  • Quantities & As-Builts: Compute cut/fill and earthwork volumes, produce cross-sections, and run change detection against design surfaces to minimize rework and reflys.

Surveying & Mapping

Topographic surveys, corridors, and surface models benefit from single-flight capture with GeoCue TrueView, while LP360 streamlines ground classification, contouring, and QA for consistent accuracy and faster delivery.

  • High-Density Topography: Multi-return LiDAR delivers detailed terrain through vegetation for reliable contours and surface models at practical flight altitudes.
  • Repeatable Control & QC: LP360 supports strip alignment checks, point density and noise analysis, and standards-aligned outputs such as LAS/LAZ and GeoTIFF.

Powerline / Utilities

Utilities rely on predictable corridor awareness. Single-pass LiDAR + RGB collection captures structures and vegetation, and LP360 provides the measurements and classification needed for proactive maintenance.

  • Vegetation Encroachment: Classify vegetation and measure distances to conductors and assets to prioritize trims and reduce outage risk.
  • Sag, Clearance, and Structure Profiles: Extract line profiles and clearances, build structure models, and document changes along the ROW for compliance and planning.

Mining

Quarries and mines need fast, repeatable volumes and safe data collection. TrueView single-flight capture and LP360 volumetrics shorten reporting cycles and keep crews off hazardous ground.

  • Accurate Stockpile Volumes: Define toes cleanly, compute volumes, and compare against prior periods to reconcile inventory with less field time.
  • Highwall & Haul-Road Analysis: Assess slopes, berms, and grades, flag hazards, and track change over time to support safety and productivity goals.

Construction

GCs and survey subs need quick checks on grading, progress, and as-builts. TrueView captures the site in one pass and LP360 compares surfaces to design to catch issues early.

  • Grading & Tolerance Checks: Generate DTMs, compare to design, and highlight out-of-tolerance areas to reduce rework and delays.
  • Progress & Closeout Docs: Produce orthophotos, surfaces, and as-built packages that speed approvals and payment applications.

Forestry

Forest managers need canopy insight and terrain truth under vegetation. TrueView LiDAR penetration and LP360 normalization create dependable terrain and canopy products for planning.

  • Canopy & Terrain Models: Build canopy height models and bare-earth DTMs to support roads, drainage, and habitat planning.
  • Stand Metrics & Analysis: Derive stand-level metrics, identify gaps and density patterns, and export maps for operational decisions.

GeoCue LiDAR FAQ

What is GeoCue TrueView, and who is it for?

TrueView is a family of drone LiDAR and RGB payloads built for fast, accurate mapping on real projects. Survey firms, DOTs, utilities, mining, construction, and forestry teams use it to capture dense, colorized point clouds and imagery in a single flight and move straight into production with LP360.

How does TrueView reduce field time and rework?

You collect LiDAR and RGB simultaneously, which cuts repeat flights. In the office, LP360 handles strip alignment checks, classification, measurements, and exports in one environment. Fewer handoffs and fewer gaps mean fewer returns to the site.

Which UAV platforms are supported?

TrueView integrates with common enterprise airframes, including DJI Matrice 350 and Matrice 400 series, Freefly Astro, and Inspired Flight IF800. Mounting options and wiring guidance are available for standard configurations, and most fleets can be brought online without custom engineering.

What accuracy should I expect with GeoCue TruView LiDARS, and what drives it?

Accuracy depends on the sensor class, GNSS and IMU quality, flight altitude, and how you control the project. GeoCue offers both entry and survey-grade options so you can match the sensor to required tolerances, vegetation conditions, and productivity targets. Ground control or checkpoints, careful flight planning, and consistent processing are the levers that matter most.

What deliverables can I produce with TrueView and LP360?

Typical outputs include LAS or LAZ point clouds, colorized point clouds, DTMs and DSMs with contours, and GeoTIFF orthophotos. Teams also export linework, volumes, and change maps for submittals and review packages.

What does the end-to-end workflow look like with TrueView and LP360?

Plan the mission, fly once to collect LiDAR and RGB, then ingest the data in LP360. Run quality checks, classify ground and features, colorize, measure, and export deliverables. That is the standard geocue trueview plus geocue lp360 pipeline many organizations adopt.

Do I need a base station for every project?

You can run a local base with post-processed kinematic, connect to a trusted virtual reference network, or use post-processed PPP services where available. The right choice depends on required accuracy, distance to control, and project logistics.

How is LP360 licensed, and which edition should I choose?

LP360 offers machine and floating licenses. Editions range from view and field QC through full processing. Teams that need flexible access across multiple laptops often prefer floating licenses. If you primarily need processing and QA, choose an edition that includes classification, surface creation, and export tools.

What training and support are available from GeoCue?

GeoCue support is U.S.-based, with scheduled training, documentation, and knowledge bases that cover both TrueView and LP360. Most teams can go from install to first deliverable quickly with a short onboarding session and a sample dataset.

Is TrueView hardware U.S. assembled, and does that change anything for my program?

Yes. Hardware is assembled in the United States and supported by U.S. teams. For many buyers, that simplifies procurement, shortens service cycles, and makes training and communication more predictable. If you are evaluating geocue lidar alongside other platforms, this often becomes a deciding factor for program rollout and scale.
