Cyclomedia LiDAR point cloud

Cyclomedia's point cloud data offers a wide range of applications in urban planning and construction projects. An example is using point clouds generated from remote sensing technologies like LiDAR point data. With those, it's possible to create 3D visualizations that offer detailed insights into public spaces. These point clouds are invaluable in planning future developments, making sure that all stakeholders, from citizens to contractors, have a clear visual representation.

By overlaying 3D designs onto point cloud data, public projects become more transparent and accessible to all involved, facilitating smoother workflows and better planning. The Cyclomedia LiDAR Point Cloud offers added value in the following exemplary work processes. among others: 

3D visualizations for projects in public spaces

Cyclomedia’s LiDAR Point Cloud is a highly accurate representation of real-world environments, combining data from a lidar sensor and terrestrial laser scanners. This lidar technology uses an emitted laser pulse to measure distances and create a single point cloud that can be used in various mapping applications. Because a point cloud is a collection of data points in 3D space, every 3d point is assigned an x, y, and z coordinate, as well as additional attributes such as rgb values. The raw data from these scanners can then be imported into specialized software for visualization and to classify distinct objects. 

Measuring and mapping

Because of the high relative accuracy ( < 1") it is possible to measure and map directly in the point cloud in 3D. All regular GIS and CAD software has the possibility to import our point cloud. The use of the Cyclomedia LiDAR Point Cloud makes maintenance of basic and core registrations faster and easier, increasing productivity.

In many urban planning and public space management scenarios, professionals rely on lidar data combined with advanced point cloud data to create 2d and 3D representations. A 3d laser scanner can perform a detailed laser scan of streets, buildings, and vegetation, generating a comprehensive point cloud that supports seamless navigation in both physical and virtual environments. By leveraging a specialized 3d laser scanner, each lidar point can be captured with minimal noise, improving the overall quality of the dataset. Once collected, these data points are integrated into a point cloud dataset, which can be opened in arcgis or any other GIS system for further analysis and workflow optimization. Different scanners may export raw data in multiple file format variations, such as las files, ensuring flexibility for various mapping or CAD systems. 

Public space management and asset management

Its high accuracy and photorealistic character makes the Cyclomedia LiDAR Point Cloud very suitable for performing tasks in public space management. Whether it concerns vegetation analysis, inventory of objects (road markings, traffic signs, street furniture) or flooding and drainage simulations, the point cloud is a very valuable data source.

For public space and asset management, the point cloud data provided by Cyclomedia offers unmatched detail and precision. Whether you are conducting a vegetation analysis, inventorying street furniture, or analyzing road conditions, the LiDAR point cloud provides essential information. By utilizing terrestrial laser scanning technologies, the point cloud makes sure that all objects in public spaces are recorded with incredible accuracy. The ability to simulate potential flooding or drainage issues based on point cloud insights helps municipalities make proactive, data-driven decisions, enhancing the management and upkeep of public infrastructure. 

Real estate appraisals and valuations

Based on the Cyclomedia LiDAR Point Cloud it is very easy to construct the contours of existing buildings in 3D. This makes it possible to efficiently determine the volume of real estate objects to support the valuation process.

In real estate, the ability to use point clouds for constructing the 3D contours of buildings streamlines the valuation process. The high precision of lidar point data allows for exact measurements of building volumes, which is an important aspect for accurate appraisals. This data supports real estate professionals in representing spatial data and enables the comparison of different properties within a city. By incorporating point cloud files into point cloud processing, it is possible to generate detailed real estate models, reducing the time needed for manual measurements and improving the efficiency of property evaluations. 

Public order and safety

The Cyclomedia LiDAR Point Cloud allows you to move freely in three dimensions and view locations from any perspective, enabling line of sight analysis. This makes it possible to easily plan and prepare security of large events. Other applications such as real-time monitoring of visitor flows, visualizing nuisance based on sensors, and simulating calamities reduce risks and contribute to maintaining public order and safety.

The Cyclomedia point cloud data is invaluable for public safety and urban planning, especially when it comes to representing spatial data for large events or emergency situations. Through remote sensing and light detection technologies, these point clouds enable authorities to perform line of sight analyses and simulate different security scenarios.
