RiSCAN PRO is the companion software for RIEGL Terrestrial 3D Laser Scanner Systems. RiSCAN PRO is project
orientated, i.e., the entire data acquired during ameasurement campaign are organized and stored inRiSCAN PRO‘s project structure.

These data include scans, finescans, digital images, GPS data,••Support of Photogrammetry •Featurestion matrices necessary to transform the data of multiple scanscoordinates of control points and tie points, and all transformainto a common well-defined coordinate system.
RiSCAN PRO is designed to optimize the acquisition workflow in
the field and provides the tools for visual inspection of overall
completeness of data coverage in 3D right after acquisition. In
addition to data acquisition it provides a variety of functions fordata processing.

General Information RiSCAN PRO
RiSCAN PRO is to be licensed on three different levels:
Viewer License:

Basic visualization and viewing functions

Acquisition License:

All necessary functions for data acquisition, global registration,
visualization and pointcloud processing

Processing License:

Pointcloud processing functions as well as advanced meshing,texturing, evaluation and exploring functions.
The design of RiSCAN PRO´s project structure enables smooth datatransfer to numerous third party post-processing packages. TheXML-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 can beaccessed also in a convenient way.
For detailed information see RiSCAN PRO´s online help manual.
