SimActive Inc., a developer of photogrammetry software, says a new LiDAR workflow is now integrated in its Correlator3D product.
The capability allows users to import a point cloud in the
software and to perform registration with an image dataset. Using LiDAR as
control eliminates the need for traditional ground control points (GCPs) when
processing photos.
The registration occurs during aerial triangulation, leading
to a precise alignment of imagery with the LiDAR data. Following this,
Correlator3D can output colorized point clouds, as well as seamless
orthomosaics.
“Removing the nee ..read more
