Field Scan to Finished Plat, with Carlson PointCloud!

This new, modular program provides this powerful ability, all with seamless integration to Carlson Survey 2008. Carlson PointCloud delivers a whole new level of powerful automation. It gives laser scanner users the ability to process millions of data points with Carlson Software ease-of-use.

Register your scan to local coordinates, filter or decimate the points, overlay photo images in 3D, snap to edges and code the descriptions for automated field-to finish processing of linework and symbols and contouring within Carlson Survey 2008. You will be able to read scan data from many instruments, view and process 10 million, 20 million or more points, and then perform the Field-to-Finish from the scanned data! This Carlson Software office product, which is part of the Carlson 2008 product line, also includes hundreds of enhancements to basic AutoCAD.
