LiDAR ground control, Clarington

LiDAR ground control in Clarington: widely spread control found with Localize on a Spherefix SP30 rover and SP30SE base, with corrections over cellular.

The objective

Two large areas to fly with LiDAR, and the existing control points were spread far apart across both, some of them in the brush.

Setup

We localized with the Localize function, then navigated to each control point on the controller’s stakeout screen. The SP30SE base sat on a hydrant mount, with the SP30 as the rover. This time the corrections ran over a SIM card instead of radio, to stay clear of interference on site.

What it produced

Every control point found and shot, so both flights tie to the same control.
