    of course we need gcp's. cannot do survey layout work without it(well you CAN with gps but personally, i'd rather have a traverse done by my total station to the gcp's since THAT is accurate to 3ppm.) BUT, if you can get 3 cm without gcp's i imagine with gcp's, 3cm accuracy(1.25 inches...

    i expect cora to get suspended for at least a year, they cannot suspend the GM of the red sox due to him being on his first year and was not with the team when it happened the reason why cora has not been suspended is there is a SEPARATE investigation about the Sox using the Replay booth during...

    SO the shanghai thing fake or not? for that lidar "deck" to work effectively for survey topo work(not high precision work), in my opinion, minimally for a drone imo it only needs a 300 foot range and say 2500 points a second at a "90 degree swath"- pointed straight down 90 degree would be 45...

    What do you think of the new velodyne velocity lidar module they just announced, it is the size of a deck of cards and costs 100 bucks? Do you think this small item might be possible to be incorporated into a drone solution for an affordable lidar based drone for photogrammetry?
