What it is

Terrasolid TerraScan is Windows desktop software for managing, processing, and visualizing point clouds, including tools for creating 3D vector data from laser points. Automatic classification routines can be refined with semi-automatic and manual tools. It can generate 3D building vector models up to LOD2 over large areas and vectorize power lines. Classification routines can be combined into macros for batch processing, and TerraBatch can run macros on other workstations over a LAN. Import and export formats include LAS, LAZ, TerraScan Binary, TerraScan Fast Binary, and user-defined ASCII formats. TerraScan supports point-cloud registration, E57, point classification, and geospatial analysis. The available editions are Full, UAV, and Lite, with network or node-locked licenses. A network license allows multiple users on the same network to share product licenses. Use cases listed by the maker include urban planning, asset management, emergency response, mapping, powerline, road, railway, water resources, forestry, and mining. Paid plans include subscriptions and perpetual licenses; a free trial is available, and no free plan is listed.
