Global Mapper Pro
The all-in-one GIS software
Global Mapper Pro incorporates all of the powerful point cloud processing tools previously available in the now-retired Global Mapper Lidar Module but expands the functionality to include more terrain analysis and automated tools. Global Mapper Pro boasts tools for workflow optimization, including new automated tools for extracting breaklines from terrain and vector features from raster data based on matching or similar values.

Description
Global Mapper Pro incorporates all of the powerful point cloud processing tools previously available in the now-retired Global Mapper Lidar Module but expands the functionality to include more terrain analysis and automated tools.
Global Mapper Pro boasts tools for workflow optimization, including new automated tools for extracting breaklines from terrain and vector features from raster data based on matching or similar values. Scripting expansion includes a new Script Editor dialog for building scripts, and Python integration allowing python developers to access and use Global Mapper functions through Python scripts and environments.
In addition to the automatic point cloud classification tools, a new spectral partitioning tool segments a point cloud into distinct clusters based on a weighted analysis of point return characteristics. A segment identifier is then applied to each connected cluster and selection by the applied segment identifiers allows for easy selection of individual features to streamline manual classification.
