Description

TerraScan is the main application in the Terrasolid Software family for managing and processing LiDAR point clouds. It offers import and project structuring tools for handling a large number of points of a laser scanning campaign as well as the corresponding trajectory information. Various classification routines enable the automatic filtering of the point cloud. The results from the automatic classification can be refined by using half-automatic and manual classification tools in combination with versatile 3D point cloud visualisation options. Most automatic classification routines can be combined in macros for batch processing. In combination with batch processing, macros can be executed outside TerraScan and MicroStation, even on other workstations over a LAN. TerraScan supports several import and export formats, including the LAS format, TerraScan Binary and TerraScan Fast Binary formats, and ASCII formats that can be defined according to the users’ needs. TerraScan, as well as other products in the family, are available in Full, UAV and Lite versions.
