» 1/23/2012: VRMesh V7.0 Announced for LiDAR Point Cloud Classification at ILMF 2012

 


January 23rd, 2012 - VirtualGrid announces the availability of VRMesh version 7.0 at the International LiDAR Mapping Forum (ILMF) in Denver. Please visit Booth 95 to learn about our cutting-edge point cloud classification and feature extraction technologies.

This new release has significantly extended and enhanced the usability of VRMesh Survey module in the field of LiDAR data processing. The key contributions of VRMesh Survey are its unique capability to automatically classify point clouds under extreme variations in terrain and its excellent functionalities that allow you to extract building footprints and create 3D buildings in one click.

Unlike traditional LiDAR data processing workflows that have to extract ground points first before classifying vegetation and buildings, the first fundamental step in VRMesh Survey is to detect vegetation. It provides a next-generation solution to automatically extract vegetation, buildings, and ground points from LiDAR data, no matter the data is gathered from steep slopes covered with dense vegetation or areas where there is very few ground points available.

Key features of VRMesh Survey empower users to:

  • Automatically classify LiDAR point clouds with high accuracy.

  • Extract building footprints and create 3D buildings in one click.

  • Detect powerlines and conduct a clearance analysis.

  • Create a grid surface or an accurate meshed surface from point clouds.

  • Import and export the shape file.

  • Batch process multiple files.

Please stop by Booth 95 at ILMF 2012 for a live demonstration. We are pleased to show you our innovative technologies. We provide stand-alone applications, and also provide customized versions upon customers' specifications.


» 11/17/2011: VirtualGrid to Introduce Point Cloud Classification at AU 2011

Nov. 17th, 2011 - This year at Autodesk University, VirtualGrid will introduce VRMesh Survey, their latest software product for automatic and accurate point cloud classification. Please visit Booth 6A (Nov. 29th - Dec. 1st, 2011, Las Vegas) to learn about the powerful point cloud capabilities in VRMesh Survey.

VRMesh has become known for its cutting-edge point cloud and mesh processing functionalities. The latest product VRMesh Survey, an automatic point cloud classification solution, has been used worldwide by surveying, mining, civil engineering, and urban design companies, as well as governmental and university organizations.

Key features of VRMesh Survey empower users to:

  • Automatically classify LiDAR point clouds as ground, vegetation, building, and others, working well under extreme variations in terrain including steep slopes with dense vegetation.

  • Automatically detect hidden man-made structures that are fully covered by canopies.

  • Automatically extract building footprints and create 3D building models.

  • Accurately decimate millions of point clouds.

  • Accurately generate triangle-meshed models.

The new and enhanced features in VRMesh v7.0 Survey will give users the ability to detect ground points in steep terrain and the ability to create 3D buildings based on extracted footprints.


Please stop by Booth 6A at AU 2011 for full demonstrations. Or watch an introductory video from here.

» 2/18/2011: Automatic Point Cloud Classification available in VRMesh v6.0

February 18th, 2011 - VirtualGrid announces the availability of VRMesh v6.0, the latest version of its powerful 3D point cloud and mesh processing software. This release has significantly extended and enhanced its point cloud processing capabilities.

The biggest breakthrough in this release is the new VRMesh Survey module introduced for automatic LIDAR point cloud classification and bare-earth extraction. These innovative technologies provide users a simple workflow to automatically and accurately classify LIDAR point clouds into ground, vegetation, building, and others. More than 90% identification jobs will be done in a one-click process. And also, manual adjustments can be easily performed in a cross section view.

Compared to others on the market, the major advantages of VRMesh Survey module are as follows:

  • Directly work on irregularly distributed point clouds

  • Simple and straightforward parameter setting

  • Short data processing time

  • Accurate bare-earth generation

  • Intelligent point cloud thinning



» 2/18/2011: STL Editing significantly improved in VRMesh v6.0

February 18th, 2011 - VirtualGrid announces the availability of VRMesh v6.0. Besides the introduced VRMesh Survey module, another significant update in this release is the enhancement of its STL repair and editing capabilities.

The new version includes numerous improvements, such as Boolean, offsetting, hole-filling, triangle error fixing, etc., which have greatly improved VRMesh usability and performance in 3D printing industry. The VRMesh Design module, delivering advanced STL file repairing and editing capabilities, is especially suitable for dental implant treatment planning, orthographic surgery planning, customized shoe insole design, etc. It allows practitioners to easily prepare STL files for template fabrication. The following image illustrates the effective use of VRMesh Design in surgical template preparation for dental implants. View Case Study »


"It is a pleasure working with VRMesh team. They were attentive to our needs, understood what we were trying to accomplish and went above and beyond to provide support and answer questions. They even modified the software to create a module that makes the software easier for us and our partners to use." said Michael Saltzman, Director of Blue Sky Plan, "I highly recommend the VRMesh software to anyone looking for a valuable STL editing tool."

In addition, several new STL editing features have been included in this release, e.g. triangle refinement, edge connection optimizing, labeling, etc.
