This package contains tools to query, inspect and plot transects from point clouds, grids and shapefiles.
Tool: Profile Plotter
| Features |
|---|
| • generation of profile plots from a table or shapefile |
| • profile is output as point and line shapefiles |
| • zooming, panning, and measurement of distances |
| • user-defined colorization |
| Application |
|---|
| • creation of plots from transects queried from point clouds, grids or shapefiles |
| • measurement of, e.g., building heights or the interspace between high-voltage power lines and the terrain |
Tool: Profile from Contour Shapes
| Features |
|---|
| • generation of transects from both 2D and 3D contour line shapefiles |
| • profile line can be provided by line shapefile |
| • output as 3D point shapefile |
| Application |
|---|
| • generation of transects |
Tool: Profile from Grids
| Features |
|---|
| • query of transects from one or more grid data sets |
| • optionally together with a point cloud |
| • profile line(s) can be provided as line shapefile, coordinate list, or start/end coordinates |
| • flipping of the profile direction, optional |
| • splitting of the profile into two parts (negative/positive), optional |
| • application of profile offset, optional |
| • vertical exaggeration, optional |
| • output as point/line shapefile |
| Application |
|---|
| • generation of transects / cross sections |
| • quality control (point cloud vs. grid) |
| • multitemporal change detection (grid stack) |
Tool: Profile from Grids [interactive]
| Features |
|---|
| • query of transects from one or more grid data sets |
| • optionally together with a point cloud |
| • profile line is digitized in a Map View |
| • vertical exaggeration, optional |
| • automatic generation of profile plots, optional |
| • output as point/line shapefile |
| • digitized profile line is output as shapefile |
| Application |
|---|
| • generation of transects |
| • quality control (point cloud vs. grid) |
| • multitemporal change detection (grid stack) |
Tool: Profile from Point Cloud
| Features |
|---|
| • query of transects from a point cloud data set |
| • optionally together with a grid data set |
| • profile line can be provided as line shapefile, coordinate list, or start/end coordinates |
| • width of the queried corridor can be specified |
| • flipping of the profile direction, optional |
| • splitting of profile into two parts (negative/positive), optional |
| • application of profile offset, optional |
| • vertical exaggeration, optional |
| • attachment point cloud attributes to the result, optional |
| • displacement between each point and the profile line is reported |
| • output as point shapefile (point cloud is optional) |
| Application |
|---|
| • generation of transects |
| • quality control (point cloud vs. grid) |
