A practical guide to point clouds and point cloud processing
Point clouds are the foundation of modern surveying and indoor mapping. This article explains how point clouds are created, processed and validated to achieve accurate, survey-grade results, and why proper processing is essential for reliable measurements, floor plans and professional applications.
The fastest way to create accurate floor plans
Our community is growing, and therefore an introduction is in order. Pointorama turns scans into accurate 2D and 3D floor plans within minutes. With centimeter-level precision and seamless export to CAD and BIM, professionals can work faster, smarter and without the hassle of manual cleanup.
Point cloud registration: what it is and why it matters
At GEO Business we talked a lot about smarter workflows, but it all starts with accurate data. And when working with multiple scans, that means registration.
In short: point cloud registration aligns different scans into one coherent 3D dataset — so you can model, measure, and monitor with confidence.
