Overview
RiSCAN PRO is the companion software for the RIEGL’s LMS-Z instrument series of 3D laser imaging scanner systems. RiSCAN PRO is project orientated, i.e., the entire data acquired during a measurement campaign are organized and stored in RiSCAN PRO’s project structure. These data include the scan data itself, coordinates of control points and tie points, and all transformation matrices necessary to transform the data of multiple scans into a common well-defined coordinate system. Furthermore, in case the scanner is equipped with an optional High-Resolution 'HR' digital camera, camera images are also managed by RiSCAN PRO (see description of camera module for details).
RiSCAN PRO is designed to minimize the acquisition time in the field while providing the tools for visual inspection of completeness of data coverage already in the field in 3D. Automated scans of signal points, e.g., reflecting targets, allow the user to embed the scan data into a predefined coordinate system with high precision in a straightforward way.
In addition to data acquisition RiSCAN PRO offers functionality to post process data. Included in the base package are functions to generate meshes from the point clouds representing the scan data, to attribute color information to every laser measurement, to generate undistorted and also merged high-resolution images for texturing the mesh, point cloud decimation, object construction from point clouds and many more.
RiSCAN PRO and its project structure and project file have been designed carefully to enable smooth data transfer to numerous post-processing packages (see details on already available packages capable of utilizing RISCAN PRO’s projects directly in the section “Interfacing to Post Processing Software”). The XML-based project file structure is published and well-documented thus enabling open access to all project information in an easy way. In conjunction with the available RiSCANLib also all scan data can be accessed in a convenient way.
