SimActive Introduces New Lidar Workflow

SimActive, a world-leading developer of photogrammetry software, has announced a new Lidar workflow integrated into its Correlator3D product. The capability allows the import of a point cloud in the software and the performance of registration with an image dataset. Using Lidar as a control eliminates the need for traditional ground control points (GCPs) when processing the photos.

The registration occurs during aerial triangulation, leading to a precise alignment of imagery with the Lidar data. Following this,Correlator3D可以输出colourized点云吗as seamless orthomosaics.
