What this white paper is about

In the course of the increasing availability of georeferenced point clouds, new potential uses are emerging for viewing and processing of complex 3D data in the geoinformation sector. This White Paper consolidates internally developed algorithms and processing steps to extract relevant information from 3D point clouds. The report concludes with a brief summary of possible areas of application and future developments. 

In this white paper, you will learn:

  • How the big data processing of the LGV Hamburg data set formed the basis for a wide range of potential use cases. 
  • How algorithms developed by north.io enable powerful calculations for point density and spacing, gradient, planarity, sphericity and point cloud rasterisation.  
  • How north.io can be used to realise a wide range of application scenarios in the future. 
    • The most important use cases include point cloud visualisation, spatial statistics, 3D meshing, automated detection of traffic damage, classification, and object recognition.
  • How this development also focused on speed and interoperability leading to high flexibility. 

Your key benefits

  1. Power from the cloud: scalable big data analyses

  2. Future-proof modularity: Use data more effectively to improve planning, safety, and execution.
  3. Gain a competitive edge: Companies that master Ocean Big Data outperform their competition.
