In any drone LiDAR project, precision and accuracy are key to successful outcomes. At GeoCue, we’ve created a tool that makes this process easier and more reliable—our Concentric Target. It’s designed to streamline your post-processing workflow, ensuring dependable, measurable results. Check out the video below to see how easy and effective the Concentric Target is in action.

Now that you’ve seen the Concentric Target in use, let’s dive into why this simple but powerful tool can revolutionize your aerial LiDAR workflow.

Why Choose Concentric Targets?

Concentric Targets offer a unique advantage for establishing and validating ground control during drone LiDAR projects. They are specially engineered to optimize both horizontal and vertical accuracy. When paired with the 3D Accuracy Add-on in LP360, you can automate accuracy checks and make corrections with ease—saving valuable time in post-processing.

Convenience in Design

One of the standout features of GeoCue’s Concentric Target is its convenience. Made of five snap-together pieces, the target is quick to assemble and disassemble, taking only seconds to set up. Its lightweight construction makes it easy to transport to any site, yet its dense design prevents wind from shifting the target. Plus, the central nail hole ensures perfect alignment every time, making setup hassle-free.

Streamline Your Workflow

Integrating the Concentric Target into your workflow simplifies data alignment concerns. The target works seamlessly with LP360’s automated detection tools, allowing for 3D corrections to your point cloud with just a few clicks. This not only boosts precision but also enhances the reliability of your data, ensuring that you achieve the exact accuracy required for your project.

The Ideal Solution for Quality Control

Whether you’re working on a small survey or a large-scale project, using GeoCue’s Concentric Target helps ensure that you meet your accuracy standards efficiently. It reduces manual data processing efforts and offers peace of mind that your data is correctly aligned, providing a critical quality assurance component in your LiDAR surveys.

For drone LiDAR professionals looking to optimize their workflow and improve their project outcomes, the Concentric Target is a must-have tool.
