Laserscanner are used in manifold areas for recording buildings, scenes of accidents and sites of crime. The photographic depiction of the surrounding is mostly quite problematic and insufficient, as Laserscanner currently do not offer sifficient image resolutions.
Create high-resolution textures for usual laserscans in 3 steps:
Leica Geosystems announces Leica Cyclone v7.3.2 that fully supports the recently released ASTM E57 standard for 3D Imaging data exchange, which includes 3D laser scanning systems. This capability facilitates direct import and export of laser scan “as-built” data and related digital imagery from different types of laser scanning systems into and between different types of point cloud processing software. This general type of laser scan and image data exchange process using vendor-specific or other neutral formats can sometimes otherwise be problematic.

From now on, Laserscanning Europe provides an interesting software bundle for the analysis and interpretation of laser scanner data. It consists of the laser scanning software PointCab, with which the basic information of a point cloud can be analyzed in a time-saving and informative way, as well as the market share gaining software Google SketchUp Pro. In SketchUp, 3D models can be created easily and processed arbitrarily.
PointCab and SketchUp Pro enable you:
