cBLUE v3.2

Added Sensor Models:
– Teledyne CZMIL
– Teledyne CZMIL Nova
– Teledyne CZMIL Supernova

cBLUE will no longer add subaquous uncertainty to non-subaqueous points’ TPU. Subaqueous processing only generates subaqueous uncertainty for a point if that point has a subaqueous class of 40, 43, 46, or 64.

Subaqueous processing now handles linear or quadratic subaqueous lookup tables.

Subaqueous processing is now versioned at V2.2. The current version of subaqueous processing is stored in the cblue_configuration.json and is included in the output of the metadata JSON file.

Updated user manual to include new sensor models and information on how to read TVU and THU stored in Extra Bytes.

cBLUE v3.1

• Added Sensor Models:
– Areté PILLS
– Fugro RAMMS
• TPU processing now done in one click in GUI.
• cBLUE can now be run through command line interfacing.
• Sensor information is stored in the lidar_sensors.json.
• Scan angle and range uncertainties now depend on sensor selection.
• Added dependency (openpyxl).
• Error type is now logged in the metadata file produced for each output LAS file.
• Optional output CSV file records coordinates for X, Y, and Z instead of the LAS
point record value of X, Y, and Z.

cBLUE v3.0

Updates in cBLUE v3.0:

• Added support for Chiroptera 4X
• Added support for HawkEye 4X
• Added ability to select 1-sigma or 95% confidence level values for output TVU and THU
• Created a .csv (comma-separated text) output option, in addition to the LAS ExtraBytes output option
• Added support for .laz (compressed LAS) files
• Updated dependency from laspy 2.0 to laspy 3.0

Additionally, we have created a cBLUE User’s Manual
