徕卡测量系统发布徕卡Cyclone软件。新版本的软件允许HDS用户在测绘和制图工程中利用激光扫描技术来生产正射影像和工程放样。从而丰富了激光扫描系通的工程适用性，同时也降低了各种测量和制图工程的费用。徕卡Cyclone软件是三维激光扫描领域内的主流软件系统，该软件是HDS扫描仪的配套软件。用户使用该软件可以高效率地控制徕卡测量系统的多种HDS扫描仪。使用该软件用户可在工程测量、制图、及各种改建工程中处理海量点云数据。

Leica Geosystems HDS Cyclone — software modules provide point cloud users with the widest set of work process options for 3D laser scanning projects in engineering, surveying, construction and related applications.

Leica Geosystems announces a faster, easier option for Leica ScanStation C10 laser scanner users to apply the brilliance of external camera imagery to laser scan point cloud data. The new option consists of a direct digital camera mount on the ScanStation C10 scanner and tight, automated integration of external camera images into the scanner’s onboard controller and data storage system. Cyclone 7.4 supports this new option.

Leica Cyclone 7.4 Features

In addition to supporting the new External Camera option, Cyclone 7.4 adds another useful point cloud display feature: “Gradient Display”. This feature provides users with several gradient display backgrounds for point clouds, such as a blue sky and brown ground in places where there is no point cloud data, thus making the appearance of point cloud data more familiar to new users.
