Leica Geosystems Unveils Cyclone 3DR

Leica Geosystems has announced Cyclone 3DR, which enables users to take a LiDAR capture of a real-world location and use AI-powered tools to automatically identify individual objects, edit them and create their own digital assets for later use — all within the scan itself. Users can pair Cyclone 3DR with an Nvidia RTX Pro GPU to access AI-powered features, beginning with AI Classification. LiDAR scans are typically composed of millions or billions of small points of data, collectively grouped into a point-cloud dataset; this gives the scans incredible realism and depth in a 3D model, but it also makes it difficult to edit individual objects directly. With the AI Classification tool, Cyclone 3DR can identify the points and classify groups...more
