Bangalore – Inertial Labs, a VIAVI Solutions company has announced its new PCMasterPro 1.16 software for 3D terrain and feature modeling, which now includes scalable enterprise capabilities and up to 200% faster processing speed. Combined with other new features including automated capabilities and real-time haptics, PCMasterPro 1.16 helps engineers, cartographers, surveyors and VFX designers to create realistic digital twin models based on geospatial and 3D data.
PCMasterPro 1.16 is designed to support the Remote Sensing Payload Instrument (RESEPI) product line, a best-in-class combined Dual Antenna GNSS-Aided Inertial Navigation System, datalogger, LiDAR, camera and communications system that allows for the real-time and post-processed generation of point cloud solutions.
PCMasterPro 1.16 facilitates autonomous data processing and management using an updated batch processor equipped with profiles, templates and intuitive workflows. New command-line utilities and a user-friendly interface enable 3D professionals to customize their workflows with desired inputs. Extensive optimization features including mass implementation of parallel processes and real-time quality control haptics further simplify data import, projection and export, significantly improving data processing capabilities and user experience.
“Having trusted data and end-to-end 3D processing and refinement across hardware and software is essential to ensuring accuracy, consistency and reliability from capture to visualization,” said Jamie Marraccini, Vice President, Inertial Labs Products, VIAVI. “PCMasterPro, which supports the RESEPI product line, offers these capabilities – from tightly coupled inertial-based algorithms and reporting to locally referenced simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) generated point clouds. These tools enable professionals to make confident decisions, scale complex workflows and create digital twins that realistically reflect the real world.”
To further support digital twin users, PCMasterPro 1.16 has expanded its export format types to include PCD, PLY, E57, LAS and LAZ in colorized and uncolorized workflows. The models have photorealistic capabilities by embedding RGB information in data points.
Other updates to the software include support for additional coordinate systems, accuracy reporting, colorization options within the interface, real-time streaming updates, enhanced support for ground control points and more. In addition, a calibration toolchain improves camera alignment and projection quality, ensuring the user is getting the best results.
