03 Path Planning, Zoning, and Control

Point Planning
 Path planning for outdoor scenarios

 Path planning for indoor scenarios

 Path planning for strip scenarios

 Path planning for mine caves

 Path planning for forestry

 Zoning

 Control point planning

17
LiGrip H300 User Manual

The key to successful collection is excellent path planning, zoning and control
point planning.

3.1 Closed Loop in Path Planning


The closed-loop can better improve the reliability and accuracy of data. Therefore,
when conditions permit, data should be collected in a closed-loop route as much as
possible.

Figure 3-1 Closed-loop path

As shown in Figure 3-1, buildings 1, 2 and 3 are the objects to be scanned. It is


recommended to start scanning from 1 rather than 2. Before you start scanning, plan
your scanning route. According to the above rules, the route you can take to scan in
this scenario is ①②③④⑤⑥⑦ or ⑤⑥⑦④①②③.

In the closed loop, you need to walk an extra 5-10 m distance to ensure that the closed
loop is correct (as shown in Figure 3-2).

Figure 3-2 Correct closed loop (with certain overlapping between the start area and end area)

The following are examples of incorrect closed loops:

18
LiGrip H300 User Manual

Figure 3-3 Insufficient closed loop distance

Figure 3-4 Incorrect closed loop area

3.2 Path Planning for Outdoor Scenarios


The close-loop is an effective way to improve SLAM accuracy. The closed loop is an
effective way to improve the accuracy of SLAM. Therefore, when conditions permit,
take a closed loop as much as possible to reduce control points and improve accuracy.

The ability to close the loop at the beginning and at the end can also improve the
accuracy of the point cloud.

19
LiGrip H300 User Manual

Figure 3-5 Path planning for outdoor scenarios

3.3 Path Planning for Indoor Scenarios


When conditions permit, take a closed loop for indoor scenarios as much as possible.

Figure 3-6 Path planning for indoor scenarios

Multi-floor data Collection: If you want to collect multi-floor data (for example, there
are a total of 5 floors), you can measure floors 1-3 and then floors 3-5. As a result,
there is at least one floor of overlapping area.

20
LiGrip H300 User Manual

3.4 Path Planning for Strip Scenarios


When collecting data in scenarios such as roads, tunnels, mines, and electricity, it is
not recommended to backtrack (unless it is necessary).

When collecting data at wider roads, it is recommended to collect data once at one
side. This can reduce part of the cumulative error by taking an S-shape walk. If the
high accuracy is required, it is recommended to arrange a control point at every 50 m.

Figure 3-7 Path planning for strip scenarios

If the traffic and pedestrian flow are dense, it is recommended to collect data at night
(for example, 0:00 AM - 6 AM).

Note: Collect data in strip scenarios carefully. Do not set the control points in a
straight line. Measure the control points on the left and right side in the strip scenario.

3.5 Path Planning for Mine Caves


When conditions permit, take a closed loop for mine caves as much as possible. If it is
not possible to take a closed loop, control points need to be laid out and the
measurement time should be kept within 30 minutes (if there is no light or dim light in
the mine and the camera is not very useful, we recommend turning it off to extend the
single operation time).

3.6 Path Planning for Forestry


Take a 30 m*30 m forestry sample area as an example:

The path planning is carried out for the collection sample area. The purpose of path
planning is to collect all information about the trees with reducing data redundancy.
For a 30 m*30 m sample area, if the trees are dense, use the path planning as shown

21
LiGrip H300 User Manual

on the left; if the trees are sparse, use the path planning shown on the right:

Figure 3-8 Path planning (dense trees: left sparse trees: right)

3.7 Measurement in Special Areas (Tunnels and Mines)


Where conditions permit, it is recommended that distinctive target objects, such as
boxes, chairs, and tables should be set every 20 m - 30 m within the measurement area
(objects should be large in size, with features distributed both horizontally and
vertically).

It is recommended to scan in sections, with one section of 200 m - 300 m.

Figure 3-9 Additional feature points for scanning areas such as tunnels/mines

3.8 Zoning
If the survey area cannot be measured at one time, the area needs to be divided. The
division principles are as follows:

(1) Keep the measurement time for each area to a specified time.

22
LiGrip H300 User Manual

(2) Maintain an overlap of 10%-20% in each area.

(3) The number of features within the overlapping area is sufficient.

(4) If absolute coordinates are required, it is recommended that three or more control
points should be arranged within the overlapping area.

Figure 3-10 Zoning

3.9 Control Point Planning

In areas with good GNSS signals, the H120 backpack kit does not need control points.
However, for some scenarios such as areas with poor GNSS signals (between high
buildings, alleys), and areas without GNSS signals (underground corridors,
underground car parks), a certain number of control points should be deployed to
ensure the accuracy of the point cloud.

The control points need to be evenly distributed, with the circles in the figure below
representing check points (the check points are used to verify the accuracy of the
point cloud at a later stage) and the triangles representing control points that cover the
entire survey area evenly.

23
LiGrip H300 User Manual

Figure 3-11 Control points evenly distributed in the survey area

DO NOT set up control points in a straight line.

The correspondence between density and accuracy of control points is as follows:

The accuracy in Table 1 is for reference only. Here it highlights the differences in
accuracy due to different control point densities as well as closed loops.

Table 1 Control point density and accuracy

Layout method \ RMSE XYRMSE/cm ZRMSE/cm

Straight line, every control point at a distance of 50 m 6.15 6.19

Straight line, every control point at a distance of 100m 6.99 12.29

Closed loop, every control point at a distance of 50 m 3.98 6.06

Closed loop, every control point at a distance of 100m 5.15 10.65

The base station can be any brand of GNSS device.

4.1 Setting up PPK Base Stations

Physical base stations can any brand of GNSS devices, including, but not limited
to LiBase.

4.1.1 Base Station Assembly

For more information about the use of the base station, see the manual for the
base station.

4.1.2 Base Station Setup

The base station needs to be installed on a known point. The requirements are as
follows:

① The ground base should be stable and solid, easy to set up and operate the base
station.

② There should be open field of view. The height angle of obstacles around the field
of view should be less than 10°-15°, to ensure that the receive of satellite signals is
not affected.

③ There should be no objects nearby that strongly reflect satellite signals (for
example, large buildings).

④ The installation site should be far away from high-power radio emission sources
(such as TV stations, radio stations, and microwave stations), and the distance should
not be less than 200 m. The setup site should be far away from high-voltage
transmission lines and microwave radio signal transmission channels, and the distance
should not be less than 50 m.

26
LiGrip H300 User Manual

Figure 4-1 Base station setup

The base station must be set up on the leveled ground. Otherwise, the data quality is
not reliable.

4.1.3 Measuring Height of the Instrument

Instrument height = setup height of base station from the center on the ground to the
measurement mark. For example, the mark position measurement highlighted in red
in Figure 4-3.

27
LiGrip H300 User Manual

Figure 4-2 Instrument height measurement

Figure 4-3 Instrument height measurement position

Measure the height of the instrument with a steel tape from 2 directions. If the error is
less than 3 mm, take the average value to calculate the antenna height.

4.1.4 Static Recording

The static collection starts 10-15 minutes earlier than the LIDAR data collection.

The static collection ends approximately 10 minutes later than the end of the laser
data collection.

Note: The base station should be set up to start the data recording at least 10 minutes
earlier than the data collection of the handheld device. The data recording ends and the base
station is off at least 10 minutes later than the end of the handheld collection. That is, the
base station is still available even if the handheld collection ends.

28
LiGrip H300 User Manual

4.1.5 Data Transmission

Copy the base station data files. If necessary, convert the static format of the GNSS
receivers to the common Rinex format (O-file and P-file). By default, Libase has set
the static data format to Rinex. Therefore, you can use it directly.

You can enter the coordinates of your own base station into the app interface, so that
the coordinates can be easily recorded in the project task. You can later generate the
base station coordinates inside the project catalog file. Enter data in the lifuser-bp or
import it directly.

Figure 4-4 Set ppk base station in app

4.2 RTK mode settings


The GNSS module supports both PPK mode and RTK mode.

The RTK mode requires a CORS account before you can log in to the CORS network
to obtain real-time differential data. If you do not have an available CORS account,
the RTK mode of the GNSS module will not be available. The GNSS module only
29
LiGrip H300 User Manual

supports the RTK mode in CORS mode.

Before using the RTK mode, make sure that your environment is in an open and well-
searched area. For indoor and very poorly-searched areas, the RTK function is
unavailable.

After the RTK link is configured, the RTK status bar displays the real-time status
information of the RTK module. The current RTK states include fixed solution,
floating solution and single point solution.
31
LiGrip H300 User Manual

RTK Status Explanation


① Fixed solution Indicates that the real-time RTK module has high
positioning accuracy and the device meets the RTK data
collection requirements.
② Floating solution Indicates that the satellite signal received by the RTK
module at the current location is not good and there may be
an obstruction nearby. Wait for the device to be fixed, or
move the device to an open, unobstructed area with a good
satellite signal and wait for the device to be fixed.

③ Single solution Indicates that the RTK module at the current location is
unable to receive satellite signals, or the satellite signal is
poor. It is recommended to configure the RTK module in an
open and unobstructed area.
After the data collection is finished, tap the Stop Collection button, the RTK module
will stop working at the same time. The project will automatically store a .rtk file,
which can be imported into LiFuser-BP for RTK solution. For details, refer to the
operation of importing .rtk data to LiFuser-BP.

4.3 Setting up a Virtual Base Station (Applicable in China)


The virtual base station service is applicable in China by GreenValley, that is, pre-
event base station. Set up the base station before the operation (setup on the APP),
and stop data recording after the scanning.

Tap Settings --> Base station erection --> Virtual base station --> OK.

You will be prompted to enter the task name (confirm the coordinate system), and
finally create it successfully.

 Things to keep in mind

34
LiGrip H300 User Manual

5.1 Handheld Data Collection

5.1.1 APP-based Data Collection (recommended)

(1) Advantages of APP data collection

① Voice broadcast

Clearly learn about the status of the current device. Solve the problem of not being
able to see the flashing when collecting the GCP.

② Custom project name and sub project name

Customize the project name. As a result, you can easily know the data specifically by
the project name.

③ Live site recording

You can clearly know the condition of the survey area by taking photos. It is
convenient for the internal staff to understand the actual situation and adjust the slam
parameters.

④ Real-time point cloud

You can view the current scanned data, range, and track of the measured area.

⑤ Data copy via USB flash drive

The data can be copied on site via USB port. Especially for desktop computers, it is
not convenient to insert or remove via LAN port.

⑥ Delete project data via mobile App

Previously, data is deleted via connection to the computer if the data is full. Now, the
problem is solved, that is, data can be deleted on site through App if the data is full.

(2) APP requirements for mobile phones/tablets

Currently only Android-based App is supported. The system requirements are as


follows:

Version: Android V7.0 or later

Memory: RAM greater than 4GB

(2) If you encounter moving vehicles or people during collection, change the
orientation of the unit so that the radar is facing the stationary objects. Wait for
the vehicles or people to pass and then continue along the normal collection route;

(3) If the collection scenario has too many swaying plants and trees, usually in windy
weather, avoid collecting at that time. Do not cut through areas with heavy grass
and trees.

(4) Do not follow vehicles or crowds of people for your survey.

(5) If you reach a dead end, it is recommended that you do not change the direction
of the handheld unit. Hold the tool in the other hand and then step outside.

(6) Do not collect data at times when there is a high volume of pedestrian and vehicle
traffic.

62
LiGrip H300 User Manual

5.3.2 For Data Collection in Indoor Scenario

(1) When collecting data indoors, please walk slowly and turn at 30 degrees/second.

(2) Follow a U-turn. Do not turn on the spot.

(3) Leave the door open beforehand. Do not move during the measurement.

(4) When entering a space from another space:

On the entry, first scan the house outside in its entirety and then walk slowly
through the door. Once you have scanned the objects in the room, leave the room
or turn around slowly to leave the room in the normal way.

5.3.3 For Data Collection in Mine/Tunnel Scenarios

(1) Initialize in an open area.

(2) Move straight ahead when collecting data. This will allow the laser to scan a
wider area.

(3) Do not hold the laser too close to the ground or walls. A minimum distance of 20-
40cm should be maintained.

(4) When collecting data in scenarios such as tunnels and mines, it is not
recommended to reverse along the original road. Make sure you collect data on
both sides of the road. That is, The data is collected once on one side. You will be
able to reduce some of the cumulative error by following an S-shaped path.

two methods: Green Soil Cloud Trace and RTCM3/GVRTCM3.

(1)Green Soil Cloud Trace (batch processing is not supported at the


moment)

The Green Soil Cloud Trace function is applicable to the virtual base station data
set up by users in the GreenValley App.

The main advantage of Green Soil Cloud Trace function: Users do not need to
log in to the LiCloud platform. Users can directly use the LiFuser-BP software to
download the virtual base station data and solve it. It features simplicity, ease of use,
and efficiency.

Note:

①This function does not support Batch Processing at the moment.

②When using this function, you need to log in to your LiCloud account in
the account settings, and you will be prompted "Login successful! Select the
virtual base station preference option.

③ Make sure that the account for downloading base station data and the
account for setting up base station is the same!

④ Please make sure there are enough points in your LiCloud account, BP
software will cost you a certain amount of points when you use Green Soil Cloud
Trace for processing.

7.2.2.3 RTK Mode

A .rtk file will be generated in the corresponding subproject folder in the following
conditions: 1) The LiGrip H300 uses a backpack kit, vehicle kit or airborne kit to
collect data; 2) the RTK link is successfully configured in the GreenValley App; and
79
LiGrip H300 User Manual

3) The RTK is working normally when collecting data.

When using this mode of data solving, make sure whether the data collection is

configured with RTK link, the indicator of RTK module is always on,
the RTK status bar displays the fixed solution, and the .rtk file exists in the
subproject folder!

The area to be surveyed cannot be measured in one go. Therefore, it is necessary to


scan the area several times in order to obtain data in the entire survey area. Before
merging multiple projects, you need to be aware of the following:

1 The overlap rate of 10-20% between each project is guaranteed.

2 There are relatively a large number of feature points in the overlapping area
for merge.

9.1.3 Camera Calibration Parameter Upgrade

After completing the high-precision point cloud calculation, due to the placement
error between the panoramic camera and the laser, there is a certain deviation between
the panoramic image and the point cloud data, which cannot be perfectly
superimposed. The camera calibration parameter upgrade refers to the use of LiFuser-
BP's panoramic calibration module to calculate the placement error between the
panoramic camera and the laser, thereby improving data deviation and improving
accuracy.

Appendix 1 Overview of SLAM


Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms allow the vehicle to map
out unknown environments. Engineers can use the SLAM to observe the position,
attitude, and movement trajectory by sensors, so as to construct a map on the locations.
During the movement, the vehicle is positioned the basis of location estimation and
maps. That is, the real-time positioning and mapping construction work
collaboratively.

Simply put, multi-frame point cloud data is collected during the movement, and the
SLAM algorithm analyses and identifies the point cloud data frame by frame. When
object A is scanned in the first two frames, the point cloud data of object A in both
frames is analyzed to determine that it is the same object A. The data from the first
two frames is merged. This is how the entire map is constructed frame by frame.

Therefore, if the identification ability of the SLAM algorithm is poor, and object A in
the previous frame and object B in the next frame are determined to be the same
object, they will be erroneously merged. The merged image does not represent the
actual truth.

The prerequisite for the recognition is that there should be enough feature points in
the environment. In an empty playground, it is not possible to merge two frames
together, they can only be stacked here. The point cloud image becomes thicker, and
the 3D image is not clear. As a result, the quality decreases.

According to this principle, the SLAM algorithm accumulates errors as the number of
point cloud frames increases. The errors become larger and larger consequently.
Suggestions: You should stop the project within 15 minutes if you need to attach color,
or stop the project within 30 minutes if no camera is used. Then, start a new project to
avoid the problems caused by the accumulation of errors.

Appendix 2 SLAM Applicable Environment


Operating temperature: -10° to 40°.

Waterproof and dustproof rating: IP54.

Appendix 3 Troubleshooting-related Issues


1、 Initialization
1The laser should not face the areas with few features, for example, walls,
ground, and sky.

2 Do not initialize in locations with a high volume of pedestrian and vehicle


traffic. Do not initializing at intersections.

3 Do not initialize in areas with dense weeds or shrubs.

4 When initializing in the dense vegetated areas, ensure that the site is wind-
free.

5When collecting data from the outside into scenarios such as tunnels and
mines, initialize with facing the cave entrance.

6When collecting data in a normal environment, initialize with the laser


facing the collection scenario.

7 The initialization process of the device should be kept strictly stationary. It is


recommended that the device should be placed on a stable surface and fixed with the
aid of a hand, to avoid shaking of the device due to the rotational inertia of the laser.

8The initialization time must be sufficient. When the indicator light changes
from a fast flash to a slow flash, it signifies that the initialization is complete.

9For the measurement of multiple stations, the initialization area should be


within the previous measurement area. Ensure that there is a 10-20% of overlap in
each measurement area.

10 Backpack kits, vehicle kits, or airborne kits should be stationary for


initialization, with the movement in figure-8 trajectory.

2、 LiGrip Collection
1The data should be collected at a speed of not more than 1 m/s. The fast
driving speed is not required.

When collecting data in indoor scenarios, open the doors in advance. Do not
2
move the door during the collection.

Plan the path in advance. Take a closed loop as much as possible if


3
conditions permit.

118
LiGrip H300 User Manual

4 The laser should always aim at the effective ground object.

5 Pass slowly in the confined space or move slowly in case of scenario


switching.

6 In the collection of elevation information, it is recommended that the laser


should face the elevation. You should operate when there are few moving targets.
This can reduce data noise and errors.

7 When scanning multi-floor staircases, start by tilting the device back a little
at each floor, scan the whole staircase and then lower the device to a normal
angle before moving up.

3、 Vehicle-mounted Kit and Airborne Kit


The mapping principle of the H300 is still SLAM. Therefore, the application
scenarios for the vehicle-mounted kit and airborne kit should have distinctive features.
Accordingly, the vehicle-mounted kit or airborne kit is not applicable to scenarios
with less distinctive features, for example, highway and large open area.
Both the vehicle-mounted kit and airborne kit need to start and end with a
movement in figure-8 trajectory in an area with good satellite conditions (usually
greater than 20 satellites).
Flight altitudes of around 50 m are recommended for airborne kit data collections.
In addition, the attitude should not change too much during the flight. The rapid in-
situ turns are not allowed.
The data collection via vehicle-mounted kit should not be greater than 40 km/h.
Do not collect data in areas with too much traffic.

4、 RTK Mode
1 The RTK supports only the NTRIP-compliant CORS networks.

2 For RTK, the correct account and password are required in order to obtain the
differential data.

3 For the RTK, it is not necessary to have a fixed solution in the whole process.
In general, a fixed solution obtained within 50 m can provide a highly accurate point
cloud.

4 For RTK fixed solutions, if a relatively large error is encountered, the


collection can continue. The BP program will filter out the points with large errors.

5 Do not collect data in environments where there is strong electromagnetic
