“Field Scan to Finished Plat” with Carlson Point Cloud

Carlson Point Cloud is a modular program that provides the powerful ability to go from field scan to finished plat, all with seamless integration to Carlson SurveyCarlson Civil and Carlson Mining.

Carlson Point Cloud delivers a whole new level of powerful automation for large data sets. It gives Laser Scanner and Drone users the ability to process millions of data points with Carlson Software ease-of-use.

Register your scan to local coordinates, filter or decimate the points, overlay raster images in 3D, snap to edges and code the descriptions for automated field-to finish processing of linework and symbols and create contours, profiles, sections, and breaklines. You will be able to read scan data from many instruments, view and process up to 1 billion points, and then perform the Field-to-Finish from the point cloud data. This Carlson Software office product allows users to export surface models, points, contours, breaklines, grid and profiles to CAD.

  • View Surface — 3D viewer for point cloud data
Scan Utilities
  • Re-sample and filter scan data
Breaklines
  • Automatic 3D breakline creation based on surface zones

 

PC Requirements for Point Cloud Perpetual License

Hardware Minimum Requirements Recommended Most Powerful
CPU G4560 I7 I9
RAM 16 GB 32 GB 64 GB or more
SSD MVMe 250 GB free 1 TB  free 2 TB or more

Graphics card:

Preferred compatible with OpenGL Version 1.4 or higher:

  • Recommended are desktop graphics level discrete (not integrated cards like Intel HD) graphics cards.
  • Preferably Nvidia Geforce due to their more consistent driver support.
  • Discrete ATI/AMD cards will be adequate, but ATI’s driver support has been spotty and user is frequently deferred to the computer manufacturer for support.
  • Professional Nvidia Quadro cards are not currently recommended due to driver issues.
  • Powerful gaming cards are not required and probably would not provide as much benefit as investment in more memory or better CPU
