What it is

RIEGL RiSCAN PRO is operating and processing software for terrestrial laser scanning projects on Windows 11. It supports data acquisition, visualization, and processing for RIEGL VZ-Line and VZ-i series scanners, with real-time field streaming and automated batch processing. Point-cloud tools cover automatic registration, multi-station adjustment, filtering, merging, colorization, meshing, and volume calculation, plus volume measurement. Data from multiple sensors, including external cameras, can be combined into colorized point clouds with added attributes. Projects can be exported in formats including .e57, .las, .laz, .obj, .stl, .dxf, .csv, .pts, and .ptx. A documented XML project structure supports transfer to third-party post-processing software. Plugins include RiPANO, LIS GeoTec, LIS TreeAnalyzer, and an AI anonymizer for faces and license plates. Listed applications include façade measurement, as-built surveying, forestry, topography, archaeology, and city modeling. Pricing is on request, and downloads are restricted to RIEGL customers.
