RiSCAN PRO 2.7: The Dedicated Hub for RIEGL Laser Scanner Data
RiSCAN PRO 2.7 is the official, manufacturer-provided software for processing, managing, and analyzing data captured by RIEGL terrestrial static, mobile, and airborne laser scanning systems. It serves as the central workstation where raw scan data (including waveform data) is imported, cleaned, precisely aligned (registered), georeferenced, and prepared for export to other analysis or modeling applications.
Core Function: End-to-End Processing for RIEGL Scanners
Its primary function is to provide a complete, scanner-optimized workflow. It leverages the full capabilities and accuracy of RIEGL hardware, handling the proprietary data formats and advanced features (like online waveform processing) to produce high-quality, registered point clouds ready for project deliverables.
Key Functions:
-
Project & Scan Data Management: Centralizes all scan positions, trajectories (from mobile/airborne platforms), images, and control points into a single project file for organized processing.
-
Precise Scan Registration & Georeferencing: Provides robust tools for fine-registering multiple scan positions using automatic target-based or cloud-to-cloud methods, and for aligning the data to real-world coordinates using GNSS/IMU data or ground control points.
-
Point Cloud Filtering & Classification: Applies filters to remove noise (e.g., atmospheric artifacts, flying pixels) and can classify points into categories (ground, vegetation, building) to prepare data for specific applications.
-
Analysis & Visualization: Includes tools for measurement, cross-section creation, and 3D visualization of the dense point clouds and trajectory data.
-
Export & Integration: Exports clean, registered point clouds in standard formats (LAS, LAZ, ASCII, E57) for use in third-party software like AutoCAD, Revit, or GIS platforms.
