Hello! I would like to get in contact. I have a LiDAR & Survey Technician position open in Indiana and I am looking for experienced candidates to fill it. It could be a potential fit for some who came through your academy. Hope to hear from you soon.
Well done, this was well thought out and communicated. I agree with your methodology. Maybe Alan's comment "can't get better than 4 inches" was simply a Freudian slip...😅
Any precision is possible with unlimited money and resources . Heres a challenge: Use 1 or 2 smartphones and their video data out of a moving car and get the coordinates of trees at the street with a precision of 10 cm. Whats realy relevant is the relation between money + time + n-data points + precesion
Here's a really easy idea that nobody thought of.. Fly some moderately sized bit of interesting heavy canopied terrain, then go walk all over the place under the canopy. I'd sign up to watch that!
This looks like a Non-repetitive path scanning for L2. I'm not using it due to this kinda bad result. Total different story for the repetitive scan path, which is very accurate and precise even without smoothing and optimization. I'm super satisfied with my L2 unit in rep mode. I've noticed also a thing: i'm always using an Emlid RS3 set as base when using lidlar, with short baseline data precision increase drammatically, and also doing PPK. Your dataset looks acquired in worst condition possible.
Nice demo Harrison... I'm working with Dylan on slowly getting outfitted with my drone equipment, and getting your Rock Robotics gear is right up there... baby steps first. ; ) I met you a couple of times in person at Dylan's seminars in Dublin last year and in Los Altos. I live in Montana, but I'm down here consulting on a couple of sites. I asked you if Rock could come out with a handheld only Lidar for use on ground only 3D Modeling. You said to bug your staff about having that available as well as the aerial equipment. Have you decided on offering that option yet? I'd like to get into Lidar using your gear and online service, but I'm not quite ready to buy all of the drone equipment that I need. Appreciate your consideration on this. I have a couple of questions too on using your on-site GPS station that we buy from you if we don't have a local CORS station available. Lastly, I'm in the San Jose area for a couple of more months before I head back up to Big Sky country. Did you record this footage in the San Mateo area? Just curious. That looks like the area from Palo Alto on North next to the Bay. I grew up in Campbell, so I know the Bay Area well.; ) Any chance to stop by or tag along on any of your Bay shoots to learn more? I'll help carry the gear. ; ) Appreciate your informative videos as always...
Survey crew chief/drone pilot here, born in 80'. I have been using GNSS systems at survey companies since 2008. Seeing what you have achieved with the R3 V2..man I'm getting misty over here. You and the team are outstanding. Harrison thank you for the amazing content on YT, as well as the courses on the Rock Robotic website. The passion and professionalism you guys are bringing to the table has a value that I do not see matched often. Please keep pushing the industry forward!
Hopefully I can get some feedback this time but how can I get in to this field? (What certs, or classes should I be researching to get to be seen as a more desirable candidate for this type of work?)
No offense, but this guy probably doesn't have the time to answer. People ask him all the time. That being said, he has a lot of resources on his channel, as well as ways to get into it. You just need to do your due diligence and do research:) happy flying!
I cant find some specs on the sensor…. At what speed can you fly this? I have a Type 1 VTOL/Fwd Flight acft (over 75 lbs) that flys at 43kts. I map LARGE areas of land. Will this be to fast for the LiDAR if taken from 2000 AGL?
Dear Harrison, I work at ICMBIO and IBAMA, both are federal environmental protection agencies in Brazil. It would be the equivalent of the USFS and NPS in the USA. We have made a lot of progress in recent years in terms of acquiring an RPAS fleet, today we have more than 150 M2EA, 10 300RTK Matrices, 1 EBEE with multispectral sensor and finally we acquired a Trinity Pro for mapping purposes. Our efforts are mainly focused on protecting the Amazon Forest and some other biomes in Brazil. Our next step in the evolution with RPAS is to learn how to properly use and take better advantage of Lidar. We are making use of DJI's L1, but we are not satisfied. Is there any possibility that RockRobotics could send a Lidar unit so we could test it in our operations? We are a large dissemination and reference hub in Brazil regarding the adoption of RPAS technologies and I am sure that support in our mission to protect the Amazon would generate significant impact and dissemination of your solution.
Why would you solicit people to join this if you are in reality exclusionary. I reached out offering to help you in any way I could and you never responded. I demoed your Rock Cloud and offered legitimate, candid feedback based on my years of experience. I honestly thought that it wasn't ready for prime time, wasn't accurate, and I offered evidence. Although you did respond with a generic thanks, you then banned me from one of your administered chat rooms. You are being disingenuous by inviting everyone into your circle. You just want to ignore the truth and try to sell more products (of which many are good which makes it all very sad).
Are these meetings friendly to the totally uninitiated? I'm really interested in getting licensed and potentially becoming an independent pilot, but have no background. My experience in archaeology first piqued my interest in lidar
I'd love to see a cemetery (or at least part of one) where there's plenty of tree canopy. It'd be great to see how the SLAM works at mapping monuments/headstones despite trees.
For references, the drone is at least 10k, and the lidar is around 30k. So he hasnt made any money yet, but of course he could do this 1 more time and have made 100% roi
I believe you should have done the comparison with optimised on and smoothed off. I would really like to see that comparison. Is the R3 data completely raw or has it been optimised or strip aligned etc?
We're already impressed with the V1 we purchased for vegetation management for the energy sector almost two years ago…but you guys have went and knocked it out of the park once again with ROCK R3 V2. We are already discussing the upgrade…well worth it!
Do you use the pilot2 mission plan for the L2 and just run the R3? Does the L2 calibration sections of the flight work with the R3???? I have a mission we are flying both sensors in a day and need advice on using the pilot2 app to control the flight’s?
Hey Knoll, have you experienced any issues regarding high levels of electromagnetic interference while flying over power grids or live substations? Is there an electromagnetic safe distance for IMU, GPS, and other vital avionics?
It looks good! Harrison how about a power line with vegetation around it? Harrison Does Rock Pilot 2.00.03 from 2024-4-16 work with the new DJI Firmware UAV v10.00.06.02 and RC v03.02.09.08 from 2024-04-28 ?
