Operating & Processing SoftwareRiSCAN PROfor RIEGL 3D Laser Scanners

Key Features:• scanner control• data acquisition• scan registration• georeferencing• advanced filtering• data import/export• 3D visualization• 4D animations• simple meshing• volume calculation

RiSCAN PRO is RIEGL’s solution for processing VZ-Line Terrestrial
Laser Scanner data. With advanced features for point cloud
optimization, such as batch registration, 3D bundle adjustment, intelligent filtering tools, data merging and high-performance 3D visualization capabilities, RiSCAN PRO providesa fully integrated solution for producing accurate and refined
TLS point cloud data.
With tools designed to optimize the acquisition workflow in thefield, RiSCAN PRO provides the ability to perform real-time QA/
QC of data coverage and scan registration in the field. Data isstreamed in real-time from the scanner to the software, where allprocessing features required to produce a perfect point cloudare provided.
RiSCAN PRO integrates sensor fusion and the transformation
capabilities necessary to turn the data from multiple sensors into
a seamless, colorized point cloud with a number of valuable
attributes. These data can then be exported in a number
widely supported point cloud formats for further analysis andinformation extraction in software solutions tailored to eachapplication.

Typical applications include• Topography & Mining• Civil Engineering• Archaeology & Cultural Heritage• City Modeling• Agriculture & Forestry• Measurement of Bulk Materials• Mapping of Contruction Sites andConstruction-Site Monitoring• As-Built Surveying• Architecture & Facade
Measurements

Ri Software

RiSCAN PRO General Information
64-Bit Architecture
RiSCAN PRO is a truly 64-Bit softwarethat allows to utilize all available
System RAM with the benefit of large
scale parallel data processing anddata visualization of billions of points
simultaneously in one single 3D view.

Enhanced Graphics
The state of the art 3D point cloud visualization based on the RIEGL RDB 2
point cloud file format allows to visualize each and every scanned data
point in 3D whereas point colors arederived in real time from any of theadditionally acquired point attributes such as amplitude, reflectance,deviation, or true color.

Power Tools
A set of powerful and large scaledata processing tools allows toconfigure complex tasks such as
registration, data processing, data
import and export with just a few
mouse clicks on multiple scan data
files at once.

Modern User Interface
The state of the art RiSCAN PRO
user interface supports Ultra HighDefinition (UHD) displays natively with
automatically scaled controls andhigh resolution re-sizeable icons that
atare also easily operable on touchcchtablet computers.

Advanced Filtering
Due to scan data based on theheRIEGL RDB 2 point cloud file format,aat,filtering can occur by many meansnns
such as by octree, isolated pointnnt
or by point attribute while all theheoriginally acquired point attributettedata is retained.

2The design of RiSCAN PRO´s project structure enables
smooth data transfer to numerous third party post-processing packages. The XML-based project file structure
is published and well-documented thus enabling open
access to all project information in an easy way. By using
the optional RiSCANLib or RiVLib library all scan data canbe accessed also in a convenient way.
For detailed information see RiSCAN PRO´s online helpmanual.
