TERRA – SCAN, MODELER & MATCH
                TERRA SOLID - MANAGING AND PROCESSING POINT CLOUDS
                TerraScan
                TerraScan is the main application in the Terrasolid Software family for
                managing and processing all types of point clouds. It offers import and
                project structuring tools for handling the massive number of points of a
                laser scanning campaign as well as the corresponding trajectory
information. Various classification routines enable the automatic filtering of the point
cloud. Point cloud management, processing and visualization is only one part of
TerraScan. The results from the fully automatic classification can be refined by using half-
automatic and manual classification tools in combination with versatile 3D point cloud
visualization options.TerraScan supports several import and export formats, including the LAS and LAZ formats, TerraScan Binary and
TerraScan Fast Binary formats, as well as ASCII formats that can be defined according to the users’ needs.
               VERSATILE TOOL FOR MANY KINDS OF DESIGN AND MODELING TASKS
               TerraModeler
               With TerraModeler you can create, edit, and utilize surface models. TerraModeler creates surface models (TINs) from
               various sources, such as LiDAR points stored in binary files or loaded in TerraScan, XYZ ascii files and graphical design
               elements. The software offers versatile visualization options including colored shaded surfaces, contour lines, grids, colored
               triangle nets, elevation texts, slope directions and textured surfaces (in combination with TerraPhoto).
                 CALIBRATION AND STRIP ADJUSTMENT
                 TerraMatch
                 TerraMatch is a sophisticated tool for improving the accuracy and quality of the raw laser point cloud. It compares laser
                 data from overlapping flight or drive paths and calculates correction values for the misalignment angles as well as xyz
                 location errors. The comparison and correction value calculation can be either based on surface matching or on different
                 types of tie lines. Tie line matching comprises points or lines on horizontal, vertical or sloped surfaces that can be used
for matching flight/drive paths to each other, but also known point or line locations that enable the adjustment of the laser point cloud
to control measurements.
