The SURE 3.0 experience
- Seamlessly integrate LiDAR data for better DSMs, Meshes and True Orthophotos
- Elastically scale your processing engine by adding new nodes during processing
- Benefit from global color balancing - also within Distributed Processing!
- Boost your production with strong performance optimizations - particularly for Oblique
- Directly disseminate meshes through the web - now with much faster loading
- Retrieve a better visual overview from the new camera viewer in the Mesh editor
New Features
Benefit from the complementary data capturing techniques for higher quality True Orthophotos and 3D Meshes
- Combine sharp edge resolution of dense image matching with the vertical precision of LiDAR
- Benefits for DSM, True Orthophoto and 3D Meshes
- Improve dataset completeness in low coverage areas
- Occlusions from missing overlap / stereo information
- Occlusions from narrow streets and yards
- Fill data gaps from poor radiometry - e.g. in shadow areas
- Use LiDAR data in the 2.5D and 3D workflow out of the box
- also with Distributed Processing
- Easy to set up – just provide LiDAR clouds – no trajectory file needed
DSM – Dense Image Matching | DSM – Dense Image Matching + LiDAR |
---|---|
Avoid data gaps – Complement DSM data with LIDAR data in narrow alleys
3D Mesh – Dense Image Matching | 3D Mesh – Dense Image Matching + LiDAR |
---|---|
Reduce noise – benefit from the vertical precision of LiDAR and keep details from dense image matching data
Create seamless True Orthophotos and Mesh Texture with global color balancing
Without global color balancing | With global color balancing |
---|---|
- Automatically compensate for color and brightness variation in your input imagery
- compensate effects from different sun inclination angles, exposure times or white balance
- fully atuomatically balanced True Orthophotos & Mesh texture
- compensating for brightness shifts and gradients in up to 4 channels
- only equalizing in order to maintain original coloring average (e.g. for classification)
- Completely automatic process - even when using Distributed Processing
Improved Features
Retrieve 3D point information resolving fine geometric detail with low noise and sharp edges
BEFORE | AFTER |
---|---|
- Benefit from the reduced noise level and fewer outliers in filtered clouds
- Significant processing throughput improvement for high overlap datasets
Produce lighter 3D mesh models in a shorter time
- Keep exact edges and retrieve lightweight geometry with new simplification approach
- Save file storage and processing time with the reduced file count and accelerated processing speed
