shrug-l: Terrestrial LiDAR - software viewer recommendations?

[Kevin Shortelle]

Jay,

The following options may be helpful:

Merrick MARS Viewer
http://www.merrick.com/index.php/geospatial/services-gss/mars-software

LizardTech LiDAR Compressor
http://www.lizardtech.com/products/lidar/


I attended an exhibitor demonstration of the MARS Viewer at the recent SHRUG workshop in November.  A few weeks ago, I participated in a Webinar for the LizardTech LiDAR Compressor.  The above sites provide free trial downloads of viewers.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Kevin

  Subject: shrug-l: Terrestrial LiDAR - software viewer recommendations?


  Greetings to all, from frigid Reno, NV (14 degrees at 8 a.m.).
   
  I'm excited to have my first chance to work with some terrestrial LiDAR and am looking for input on software for viewing and manipulating the data.  This is data from a tripod mounted laser scanner that was set up on several stations to capture a rocky landscape of about 7 acres that includes two hills and some man-made features.  Our subcontractor is supplying a rendered fly-through, ground surface contours and some sort of point file.
   
  If any of my fellow SHRUGEES have worked with this type of data I'd greatly appreciate any recommendations.  The man-made features of interest on the landscape require a full 3D environment - they have overhangs and undercuts (i.e. a given x,y coordinate can have more than one z value).  
   
  Thanks and best wishes to all for a wonderful holiday.
   
  Jay Johnson
