• Extraction of roofs from laser scanning data
• Simulation of shading effects caused by buildings, vegetation or topography
• Calculation of the solar potential

LASERDATA offers the calculation of the solar potential of roof tops based on laser scanning data for funding organisations of renewable engery, administrative units or solar plant developers

Application fields:

Renewable energy (potential analysis), solar plant planning (photovoltaics, solar thermal systems), 3D-city models, spatial planning

• Segmentation of laser scanning data
• Analysis of the characteristics of data segments (e.g. building segments)
• Classification of segments

The classification algorithms of LASERDATALIS allow an extraction of buildings and forest areas on a single object level.

Application fields:

Forestry (forest areas, tree heights and forest density, volume of biomass), 3D-modeling, models for noise pollution, planning of cellular phone networks (signal blockage)

• Normalisation of intensity images
• Classification of image contents
• Differentiation between grassland and traffic areas

The analysis of intensity images using LASERDATALIS allows a differentiation of areas which can not be distinguished by their height.

Application fields:

Spatial planning (land cover), hydrology (soil sealing), natural hazards (surface roughness)

Visualization

• 3D-viewing, 3D-point clouds
• Image drapes, shaded reliefs
• Interactive rotation

LASERDATALIS offers a wide range of control mechanisms to view your data three-dimensional in a high quality.

Application fields:

Tourism (realistic landscape impression), spatial planning (simulation of planned road tracks, planning of skiing areas)

• Calculation of difference models
• Couloring of changes
• Analyses of inducing processes

The analysis of multi-temporal laser scanning data with LASERDATALIS facilitates a localisation and quantification of changes in the landscape.

Application fields:

Hydrology (transportation of river bed load, mass balance of glaciers), spatial planning (detection of built-up areas, natural hazards (land slides, rockfalls), infrastructure planning (planning and documentation of new tracks)

• Interactive definition of profile lines
• Extraction of surface points
• Extraction of ground points

The extraction of profiles via LASERDATALIS distinguishes between surface and ground points.

Application fields:

Hydrology (river profiles), forestry (tree height), surveying

• Derivation of areas with high surface curvature
• Extraction of breaklines
• Point thinning in flat areas

LASERDATALIS uses topographic-geometric, visual and statistical algorithms for the derivation of breaklines and point density reduction.

Application fields:

Process modeling (run-off models, modelling of impacted by mass movements), topography (digital terrain models)
