Mining a 3D Point Cloud

Exploring the Project's Data

Every point cloud hosts a wealth of 3D digital information including the ability to take measurements, visualize geometry, and much more. This information can be “mined” using our powerful and portable viewer included with every point cloud we produce. When needing additional functionality such as timeline analysis, calculating and comparing volumes, virtual inspections and team sharing as shown in the interactive window below, we offer these solutions to support your team through membership in our monthly cloud services.

In the interactive window below is a simple example of 3D point cloud model being demonstrated in our cloud services viewer. In addition to the portable viewer that we deliver with every point cloud, our cloud services viewer adds enterprise level functionality that enables our clients even more capability.

Mining a 3D Point Cloud through the Cloud

We are eager to make the information found in point clouds accessable to all our customers in the most cost effective way possible. With every point cloud we deliver to our clients a number of files like 3d point clouds, orthomosaic images, topographic contour data, surface meshs and digital elevations models (DEM) as well as viewing tools to access those files. All of this is included in our base service at no extra charge and in most cases are adequate to meet all the needs of our clients.

There are those situations where additional functionality is needed. In these cases we can offer a membership into our cloud server that adds to the base functionality of our viewer. The following is a list of functionality that can be accessed by using this “cloud” service. We invite you to contact us to learn what mihgt be the most effective approach to accessing and mining your dataset.

Our pilots are FAA certified and perform safe and compliant aerial activities.

Why should you hire an FAA Part 107 Certified Remote Pilot? Because it’s against the law to profit from products produced by drone technology without a part 107 FAA certified pilot in command of the drone and its activities. The FAA owns the airspace above us and enforces the use of that airspace. Drone Pilots who take the time to enroll in courses, invest in studies and pass the FAA exam are the only operators qualified by law to pilot a drone for commercial purposes. Commercial flying of drones includes any flights that are for “work or business”, even if no money changes hands. All commercial flights must be done by a FAA certified Remote Pilot (FAA Part 107 or 333). FAA certified pilots are required to understand the same aviation charts as do airplane and helicopter pilots. This includes flying over your own personal business in order to make a video for your website, or flying properties for a real estate broker. Dont make the mistake of asking a non-certified drone hobbiest to operate and produce drone products for you. The consequences far outweigh the money you may spend to hire a commercial drone pilot. It is more common than you might think for violators to be investigated by the FAA and charged – depending upon the situation – the fines are as little as $400, and as high as $5,500.
