Introduction to Terrasolid software setup and software basics

This session goes through Terrasolid software suite and explains what each software is used for. Then we walk through the installation process for Spatix and Bentley platforms. Join this session to learn how to setup Terrasolid software correctly and start working on your point cloud data.

Difficulty Level: Beginner

Presentations and demos of new features in TerraScan, TerraMatch, TerraPhoto, TerraModeler and TerraSplat.

Software: TerraScan, TerraMatch

This training demonstrates full workflow from importing raw point cloud and flight trajectory from UAV drone LiDAR survey to TerraScan and then processing it with TerraScan Wizard. TerraScan Wizard includes tools for
- trajectory processing
- flight pass matching
- overlap cutting
- smoothing and removing noise
- ground classification
- vegetation classification
- above ground feature classification
- tree segmentation

Difficulty Level: Beginner

Processing workflow for forest survey data collected with hand-held LiDAR. Training session introduces steps for checking measured points, ground classification, grouping tree points and measuring trunk diameters.

Software: TerraScan, TerraModeler
Difficulty Level: Intermediate

Difficulty Level: Advanced

- Einführung in das "Machine Learning"-Prinzip von TerraScan
- Trainingsdaten bearbeiten
- Modell auf Projektdaten anwenden

The training will cover TerraMatch settings, preparation of data, and how to collect observations and solve for unknowns. We will also cover some tools for analyzing and evaluating the geometric quality. We will use a smaller airborne dataset, but the method may apply also on larger datasets.

Software: TerraScan, TerraMatch
Difficulty Level: Beginner

In this training we work with different datasets to get familiar with common problems in point cloud processing, and how to fix the issues. The session covers essentials with ground classification, and classification problems with above ground features.
Difficulty Level: Intermediate

Difficulty Level: Advanced

- Distanzwerte für unterschiedliche Analyseaufgaben (z.B. Vegetationhöhen, Gefahrenobjekte, Durchfahrtshöhen)
- Vergleich von Daten mit Referenzdaten, Distanzberechnung und visuelle Analyse
- Einführung "Extra attributes"
- Export von georeferenzierten Distanzbildern

Processing workflow for orthophoto creation with TerraPhoto tools. Training session introduces steps for creating TerraPhoto mission and image list, point cloud colouring, automatic building vectorization and orthophoto creation.

Software: TerraScan, TerraPhoto, TerraModeler
Difficulty Level: Intermediate

This is a hands-on training session in matching MLS point clouds. We will go through preparation of data and TerraScan/TerraMatch settings. We will use TerraMatch to collect observations, estimate corrections and finally apply corrections to the point cloud. The result will be a homogeneous georeferenced point cloud.

Software: TerraScan, TerraMatch
Difficulty Level: Advanced

Difficulty Level: Advanced

- Überblick über typische Tie line-Typen (für interne Streifenanpassung, für Anpassung auf Orthophotos)
- automatische Suche, manuelle Platzierung
- Anpassungsmethoden: Streifenanpassung, Driftkorrektur, "Rubbersheet"-Korrektur

This session shows how to import Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) data into TerraScan and handle the survey data in project scale. We will be using the latest TLS project features implemented in version 026.016 of TerraScan. Basic classification steps are executed including ground, building and vegetation classification steps. At the end TerraModeler is used to create a ground model out of the ground points. The ground model is then exported in .dxf format.

Difficulty Level: Intermediate

Introduction to advanced use of TerraBatch, and Python automation for Terrasolid tools within the MicroStation environment. Covers scripting fundamentals, macro development, and custom tool creation for production efficiency. Key Concepts: Advanced TerraBatch use cases Python scripting basics in MicroStation Custom tool development with MS Python Batch processing workflows A part of the training uses MicroStation Python, and requires Bentley MicroStation Difficulty Level: Advanced
