3D point cloud processor for AutoCAD
Published 2:29 pm, Wed 11 Nov 2009
Kubit announce latest release of PointCloud and PointCloud Pro version 5.0
The software allows the display and processing of point clouds directly inside AutoCAD. Every point of a 3D cloud can be accessed and be used in combination with all traditional AutoCAD commands.
PointCloud also provides several tools for analysis of 3D laser scan data, allowing for coordinate systems, polylines, planes and cylinders to be easily be fitted to point cloud sections. The results of the post-processing techniques can vary between 2D plans or 3D models.
The latest release extends AutoCAD by adding a photogrammetric, multiple image analysis. Three-dimensional objects can now be modeled using digital photos instead of scanned point clouds.
Oriented images can be generated directly within PointCloud and then drawn on to get an image plan. Lines drawn on a two dimensional photograph are simultaneously displayed inside the 3D point cloud at the correct geometric position.
PointCloud license holders may deliver fully functional cloud files free of charge with the Free Edition version of PointCloud allowing service providers can hand their measured point cloud data to their customers for further processing in AutoCAD without the customers having to purchase a license of PointCloud.
