: Specialized tools for point cloud calibration, strip adjustment, and automated classification.
When a drone captures LiDAR data, inaccuracies in the GPS/IMU systems can lead to "striping," where adjacent flight lines do not align perfectly. is designed to automatically calculate the offsets and correct these discrepancies.
Historically, TerraSolid software operated exclusively as an add-on for MicroStation, catering to massive airborne (ALS) and mobile (MLS) LiDAR datasets. The bundle represents a major shift, providing a bundle tailored for drone users that runs standalone on top of its own integrated CAD engine (TerraViewer). This package includes lightweight, feature-matched versions of TerraSolid’s core modules:
Unlike the full enterprise suite designed for manned aircraft, the UAV bundle focuses on the unique calibration, processing, and classification needs of drone-derived data. It integrates seamlessly as an addon for Spatix or MicroStation environments, providing users with a robust CAD-based geospatial workstation. Core Modules in the UAV Bundle terrasolid uav
It resolves alignment errors between the LiDAR sensor and the drone's Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU).
Capable of mapping in complex environments, such as through thick vegetation to map the ground beneath.

UAS-LiDAR data often suffers from systematic errors caused by the Position and Orientation System (POS). These errors can cause overlapping flight paths to misalign, creating "ghosting" or vertical offsets in the data.

The rise of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has fundamentally transformed the field of geospatial data acquisition. By providing a cost-effective and flexible platform for deploying advanced sensors like LiDAR and high-resolution cameras, UAVs have largely superseded traditional terrestrial surveying for many applications. However, the sheer volume and complexity of the resulting point clouds require sophisticated software to translate raw data into actionable insights. has emerged as a critical suite in this ecosystem, bridging the gap between raw aerial captures and high-quality 3D deliverables through automated calibration, matching, and classification.
