Theoretical Package - SOFTWARE

• Mission Planner and/or Microkopter
• Agisoft PhotoScan
• TerraSolid

Terrasolid is an internationally recognized software for the processing of point clouds and aerial images obtained via aircraft and mobile LiDar system. Using the Bentley or Microstation CAD software platform, Terrasolid offers varied and efficient tools for visualization, analysis, vectorization and classification. Several additional modules are used to calibrate and spatially correct LiDar data and to produce digital elevation models and orthophotos for point cloud colorization.


Possible treatments
• Correction and calibration of laser data points
• LiDar data classification
• Production of orthorectified images
• LiDar data colorization
• Surface modelling and contour lines creation
• 2D/3D mapping
• 3D feature extraction

This package provides information on the principal functions of the main flight planning and image processing applications. The number of hours required for software training will depend on your current knowledge.
