Custom Processing: Apply Control Point Adjustment

Setting up Processing

For individual mission, merged (multi-mission) or clipped jobs applying an elevation adjustment (Z only) can be utilized to adjust the point cloud data according to a previously generated GCP report (from the Calculate Ground Point Adjustment stage) or a known Z offset.

This will create a new version of the point cloud data with this adjustment applied.

  1. Navigate to Pre-Processing>Custom Processing>Apply Control Point Adjustment.
  2. Select the Reference Job by clicking in the field to select the most recent jobs and typing the job name to filter. 
  3. Enter a Job Name (e.g. the existing job name with _gcpadjust appended). Note the selection of the Reference job will pre-populate this field.
  4. Enter the Dz value - if the calculated Average Dz value from the previous step is 0.39 this is the entered value. 
  5. Add the Control Point File:
    1. This file must be a CSV or TXT file format containing 4 fields - ID (control point name), X (Easting), Y (Northing), Z (Elevation).
    2. Select Add file...
    3. Navigate to the file in your local storage.
    4. Select Open to confirm the selected file.
  6. Select Submit to trigger processing.
