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.

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
