Latest trends and applications of point clouds
In this knowledge hub, we will explore the latest advancements in point cloud technology. We will share our insights and expertise on best practices for processing and analyzing point cloud data. Additionally, we will provide examples of how point clouds are being used in real-world scenarios.
Whether you’re a seasoned geospatial professional or a newcomer to the field, join us as we delve into the power and potential of point clouds in today’s world.
Indoor mapping and its role in modern surveying and construction
Indoor mapping has become a foundational technology for surveying and construction workflows involving existing buildings. By capturing interior environments as scan-based geometry, indoor mapping provides a reliable spatial reference that can be reused across applications such as floor plan generation, renovation and retrofit projects, scan-to-BIM workflows, real estate documentation and facility management.
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.
