Visual Stake Out
- Thread starter Kelly Bellis
- Start date
Great job John. This makes me jealous of myself for having VSO. I like the idea of staking to the base to verify the compass calibration.
A precursor to dissociated identity disorder, at least that's what the voices are telling me.
Very well written John!

Hi Kelly,
Is Visual Stake Out up and operational now? How about Camera Offset Survey?
This is apparently a $1500 optional upgrade that I haven't purchased yet.
Does Camera Offset Survey provide point elevation in addition to angle?
Visual stakeout is available now and working.
Camera offset survey is in final beta. Elevation data will be included in the final release, but this is only my memory speaking. I've yet to get into serious testing using it.

Everybody has had Visual Stakeout for quite some time.
The photogrammetry stuff is still in development and is currently being tested. To see if you are able to help test, go to Home screen1, Support, Options Update, Update Options, Check. Camera Offset Survey is set to expire on my LS on June 1st. I simply haven't had time to test it yet, but I think MJ and Shawn are doing so.

I got the opportunity to use Visual Stakeout for a few hours the other day. Staking preliminary locations for power poles and guy wires. I used the monopod and the tilt compensators. Made the job a breeze. The unit is light and handy to carry around. The bottom two sections of the monopod can be fully collapsed between shots and re-extended to quickly and easily get back to the same antenna height. Looking forward to using it some more on Friday.
What does the M1/M2 in the lower right corner mean?

The scale of the grid in meters is shown here. I'm not sure why the slash. This information will be updated in a future version to make this information more clear.

Can't edit reply.. I Tried to enable and disable the item "Draw ground grid on camera's view" - no effect. Also when you move to visual stakeout sometimes the image disappears from the camera, the symptoms are the same: the camera in the camera menu works, menu camera offset survey work, and in visual stakeout black screen like the screenshot below. This was observed in previous versions of J-Field.. May be a problem in the device?
To any and All,
The above image is the result of someone telling a little white lie. You have told the LS that your antenna height is zero. I am rather sure this is not the actual case if the LS is mounted to a pole
The reason for this effect, is because you have told the LS that it is on the ground. Enter a valid antenna height to get up off of the ground.
I will make a recommendation that if VSO sees an antenna height of zero, we will bypass it for the graphical display and utilize a height of non zero to hide the possibility of seeing what you have seen with a zero antenna height. We will not change the height you have entered though.
