Topcon Scanmaster 1.5 software , designed to be used in conjunction with Topcon’s GLS-1000 Scanner, is intended to simplify laser scanner point collection and manipulation of the 3D point-cloud data sets. The software includes a number of new features, including new renderings options for culling data points to display only visible point clouds at optimal resolutions, in order to achieve a clearer view of the scanned structures. Several passes of laser-scan data may also be compiled into a single visible data set, and the software allows for the creation of mesh objects and annotations for scanned data to establish context and documentation.
