RiPROCESS is the RIEGL software package for kinematic LiDAR data processing. It is designed for managing, processing, analyzing, and visualizing data acquired with airborne laser scanning systems (ALS systems), unmanned laser scanning systems (ULS systems), and mobile laser scanning systems (MLS systems) based on RIEGL Laser Scanners.
With the native support of any raw LiDAR project collected with the RIEGL software RiACQUIRE, it provides a seamless workflow from field collection to analytics ready point clouds:
System calibration: Based on accurate timestamping, RiPROCESS manages collections and links between trajectories, imagery and point cloud data for the entire project. It stores and applies all relevant system calibration information to handle the different types of data.
Raw data processing: A built-in waveform module provides high accurate echo extraction and analysis from raw waveform LiDAR and creates spatially sorted discrete point clouds. Multiple-Time-Around (MTA) ambiguities - inevitable by use of high speed LiDAR engines are resolved with state of the art technology. Camera calibration information is used to apply lens distortion correction to any imagery collected with the LiDAR data.
Trajectory adjustment: Datasets are organized in records to undergo rigid and non-rigid data registration and georeferencing procedures to match external ground control.
Point cloud processing: Point clouds can be filtered and coloured to meet further analytics requirements.
