We're already impressed with the V1 we purchased for vegetation management for the energy sector almost two years ago…but you guys have went and knocked it out of the park once again with ROCK R3 V2. We are already discussing the upgrade…well worth it!
Awesome! I’m curious if you have explored visibility ray tracing with Rock Desktop to remove moving objects from the lidar point cloud? This would enhance the point cloud quality immensely!
Currently running a different system... but I am curious, how wide are your collected strips at 150 feet? What angle of collection are you recording with your sensor.. Is it variable or fixed to only collect a certain field of view? What does accuracy look like at say... 65m? Are you recommending a certain flight altitude to preserve your claimed +/- 3cm accuracy? Another question is can the user increase or decrease scan rate.. or is it fixed in this system.. if so what is the optimum scan rate you found? Photogrammetry wise... what sort of accuracy are you getting? This example seems pretty dang close, and I didn't see much warping... it is not very frequent that you get a "survey grade" orthomosaic. Especially if you run it through a service like d***e d****y, which is nice because of their cloud processing feature.. but i often deal with anywhere from 0.5 - 2 feet of variance, and awful warping, even with good control around the project which is super frustrating.
The scan width is projected to span approximately 170 feet at an altitude of 150 feet above ground level, based on the outlined parameters. Notably, Rock Desktop offers adjustable angle and distance gate settings for processing, with a recommended angle gate of 60 degrees for optimal field of view. The suggested flight altitude stands at 65 meters above ground level, with both parameters being subject to adjustment. Moreover, it's worth noting the fixed scan rate of 1.28 million units per second. However, it's reasonable to infer that this rate pertains to a complete 360-degree field of view. Thus, within the specified 60-degree field of view, the effective scan rate would approximate 213,000 units per second. Although I lack experience in Rock photogrammetry at present, I'm eager to delve into its methodologies and applications.
I cant find some specs on the sensor…. At what speed can you fly this? I have a Type 1 VTOL/Fwd Flight acft (over 75 lbs) that flys at 43kts. I map LARGE areas of land. Will this be to fast for the LiDAR if taken from 2000 AGL?
What smoothness was this job processed at in Rockdesktop? Our company recently flew a job with around 6 miles of curb to be mapped, and the unsmoothed version looked nothing like this, and the medium smoothing widened the curb at the bottom substantially
Yea I know what makes it special, the $30,000+ pricetag from a single device that is no bigger than a shoebox. I get it, you do not sell very many high power high accuracy mapping lidar's but freaking seriously. It couldn't have required 1,000's of man hours to construct, I can guarantee you it doesn't contain 1/4 kg of pure platinum inside to function (which would still only cover half the minimal cost of it did. It must contain a complimentary solid 18k gold presidential Rolex date just inside and it's really a $5k lidar.......🙄
This is incredible stuff! The accuracy improvements on top of an already amazing scanner! Where else can you buy a 3D scanner and it gets fundamentally improved over time!
@@IndianaDrones I'm hoping we can use it as a wedge in the door of lidar in general then once we have them hooked on lidar data we can suggest a better unit. I.e. the r3 pro v2
@@IndianaDrones i will start to use Lidar and Buy this from my own pocket, going on a Specific operations study for 1 year starting september, but they dont cover LIDAR mapping, where do you think i should start ? To learn
You get an "A" for enthusiasm but an "F" when it comes to properly explaining why I need this product. It's as if you think the only people interested in your content is a person with 10 years' experience. No one is expecting Drone LIDAR 101 but you make a whole lot of assumptions when discussing this technology. I think this is why your views and comments are so low. I studied computers and networking for years so I'm comfortable with tech talk, but several times I found myself not understanding the same benefits that you saw.
Love it! We'll be in touch to get upgraded soon, Harrison! I'm trying to convince accounting that I also need the SLAM camera... So wish me luck!
Smart man! Good luck!

Awesome! Thanks for the support! Let us know how we can help!
What is the price for the V2?
Awesome! I’m curious if you have explored visibility ray tracing with Rock Desktop to remove moving objects from the lidar point cloud? This would enhance the point cloud quality immensely!
We are working on including this now!
Hello, nice product. do you have a live view of the lidar scan and/or the camera on your controler?
Maybe I missed it, but it would have been nice to see the amount of points under the trees and bushes.
Great stuff! Hope to get a unit soon.
Thanks! You should!
I wonder if we can scan a facade or an oil tank to measure the cracks, or if the lidar can only scan in the nadir ?

Is the ROCK Photogrammetry available for the R3Pro V1 or only for the V2?
Only the V2. But, we can upgrade the V1 to the V2! Contact support@rockrobotic.com to get started.
I think it is time....
I really think it is time.
Well done guys.
The time is now!
@IndianaDrones i will reach out this week guys.
Do you have any droneoperators in the Nordics/Norway that have those great v2 drones?
What's the project?
It sounds good ! is excited about the colorized slam ;-)
That’s …..next week 🤫
@@IndianaDrones can hardly wait ;-)

None!
@@IndianaDrones that's the most impressive part I've seen about this update
Any advice for those of us that want to get into the drone flying business ? Any inputs , I’m studying to get my FAA license , thanks in advance!
Can i trade in our R360 we bought only a year ago and can't seem to get camera to work reliably on for one of these?

This comment is interesting because I’m looking to buy this from this company out of curiosity what is a better option than this?
its great, we do not have such stuff in fiji
This is incredible stuff! The accuracy improvements on top of an already amazing scanner! Where else can you buy a 3D scanner and it gets fundamentally improved over time!
FACTS!
I can't convince management to buy our department one since they just approved an L2 🤦🏼♂️
Ah bummer! But the L2 can't even do half of what the R3 Pro V2 does!
