TerraSolid TerraStereoSophisticated Visualization of Very Large Point Clouds

SHARE

TerraStereo is a stand-along application for visualizing very large point clouds. It uses high-performance graphics boards for rendering huge amounts of points fast and in high quality.

  • Visualize up to 50 billion points that are organized in a TerraScan project
  • Perform visual analysis and quality check in both, small- and large-scale displays
  • Navigate through the point cloud freely or based on TerraScan trajectory files
  • Create animations
  • View laser data in stereo mode and create stereo screen captures
  • Combine different visualization channels to improve the perceptibility of objects in the point cloud
  • Switch point classes on/off
  • Apply elevation exaggeration to the point cloud for specific analysis tasks
  • Measure distances within the point cloud
  • Digitize line vector elements and export them to TerraSurvey

Easily change between different display channels and point rendering modes:

  • elevation, intensity and class coloring
  • color by RGB values
  • shaded surface display
  • point density coloring
  • TerraZ rendering method for masking foreground objects
  • different quality levels for point rendering

There are some specific hardware requirements and recommendations in order to run TerraStereo in a proper way:

  • minimum of 4 real processor cores, more than 4 are recommended
  • > 16 GB of RAM
  • > 8 GB of GPU memory recommended
  • display device that supports quad-buffered stereo display (for stereo viewing)
    • stereo display or projector using DisplayPort or Dual-DVI connection (not HDMI)
    • (optionally) active or passive stereo glasses

TerraStereo for CAD requires a two-screen passive stereo system with a side monitor (no switching glasses possible).

GPU board used with TerraStereo must be NVIDIA® CUDA™ Compute Capability 5.2 or higher. In two GPU systems the primary (OpenGL) GPU can be older, if the other designated CUDA™ board meets the specs.

  • Low-cost solution (low performance, mono display only):
    one high-end GeForce® board + standard monitor
  • Basic solution (good performance):
    one high-end Quadro® board for example RTX5000 or more powerful one
  • Recommended solution (best stereo quality and performance):
