Create topographic maps, cross section and isometric views

Modern Machine Shop, May, 2008

The Leica Cyclone II Topo is a new generation of laser scanning software designed to take the complexity out of creating highly accurate topographic maps from laser scan data, the company says. With a simplified CAD-like interface and familiar office automation displays, the software features a map-like, top-down user interface that allows users to view, extract and create topographic maps as well as associated cross section and isometric views.

The software features a viewing interface that allows all views to be arranged simultaneously on a single display. Moreover, a feature called Intelligent 2D Section View automatically shows the area of greatest topographic interest and the best section view orientation. Together, these automated views allow users to quickly navigate point cloud data to accurately locate topographic features.
