SOFTWARE
Create and navigate 3D models and share results
HERON® Desktop
Post-processing of SLAM data
Find out more
Software to extract 3D point cloud models from HERON acquisitions. It contains patented SLAM algorithms; time bar to organise your processing as desired; filter of moving objects, and more. Advanced mode for the total control of SLAM algorithms’ parameters. Use of control points and control scans as constraints.
HERON Constraints tool
Advanced control points processing
Find out more
Take advantage of HERON algorithms to anchor 3D models to constraints so as to increase the overall accuracy. These constraints can be GNSS coordinates, ground points, physical/natural points but also georeferenced scans (TLS, UAV, Mobile). With this approach, you can also geo-reference the model and keep an eye on drift effects that may occur, for example, in long straight paths.
Reconstructor®
Advanced LiDAR data processing
Find out more
Professional software for advanced point cloud management and editing. Data processing from HERON or from terrestrial/mobile/UAV laser sensors. Powerful automatic and target-less scans’ alignment. Data export to ReCap, E57 and various standard formats. Full compatibility with various third-party software and cloud platforms. RGB camera calibration, HERON survey navigation, mesh and DTM generation, volume computation, sections and profiles. More details
Reconstructor HERON add-on
Set of commands for HERON data
Find out more
Add commands to Reconstructor to manage and optimize HERON survey results. Adjust the trajectory, navigate and retrace the survey with 360° spherical views, obtain fully measurable technical views that can be shared with the end client, produce video or georeference the data by constraining it to static scans, and more. More details

Verity
“As-built/As-designed” verification
Find out more
Verity compares laser scans of as-built conditions against any 3D Navisworks model to generate accurate quality assessments. Sophisticated computer vision algorithms compare the point cloud to the model, enabling Verity to measure the distance between where an element was meant to go and where it was built. The result is a much more accurate, detailed, and complete variance analysis. More details
