Riscan Pro users accustomed to importing the point cloud data and imagery data into TopoDOT using the Project.RSP file will now need to export the project as an E57 format when using the GeoSys Manager instead. The RSP file won’t retain the projection information. This is especially true for projects Read more…

TopoDOT™ offers several tools designed specifically for structural monitoring, specifically vertical objects such as buildings or retaining walls. Recognizing that an effective wall monitoring program requires a field to finish process consistent with the program objectives, this document breaks down the monitoring operation into individual process components along with relevant Read more…
Use the tables below as a guideline to compare some product capabilities when choosing a Bentley product for TopoDOT use. The list only includes products that have been tested for TopoDOT use but there might be more Bentley products capable of hosting TopoDOT. Please let us know if you have Read more…
Background The E57 file format is a standardized point cloud format that not only stores the 3D spatial information but other metadata such as calibrated images, laser source or scan positions, etc. Since it is a vendor neutral format it is widely used as to export an entire terrestrial static Read more…
Abstract This document presents a concise, efficient and intuitive process for establishing LiDAR project data requirements, incorporating them into a request for proposal (RFP) and assessing the data against those requirements. An overview of LiDAR technology and data uncertainty provides insight into the reasoning behind point cloud and calibrated image Read more…
The FLS file is FARO’s proprietary LiDAR scan data format that stores spatial (x,y,z),Intensity, RGB, Unit and scanner origin information. In order for a compatible 3rd partysoftware (TopoDOT) to read the FARO laser scanner data an Importer (SDK) needs tobe installed. This FARO SDK installation will allow TopoDOT to read Read more…
