Gexcel Reconstructor

Description

Reconstructor® is a well-known multi-platform and multi-resolution software to manage point clouds and images coming from different lidar and imaging platforms. Perfect to combine lidar data coming from terrestrial, mobile and airborne sensors, with UAV and 3D imaging data. The unique and powerful LineUp® technology to get the best from your scans’ automatic registration and georeferencing is now completely included. Moreover, for specific tasks, you can add dedicated sets of commands to manage the 3D model colourization workflow, get advanced terrain and mining analysis or process 3D data coming from the HERON® indoor mobile mapping system. The Education version is also available at very special conditions.
