Orbit GT releases 3D Mapping Feature Extraction portfolio version 18.1.2.
“I’m happy to announce that new software updates now become available to the user at a much higher pace than ever before.”, says Peter Bonne, CEO of Orbit GT. “Our customers can now immediately take advantage of new features and updates. This release includes all Feature Extraction products and offer new and improved functionalities.”

3DM Feature Extraction portfolio contains a Basic, Standard and Pro version, each offering new features and enhancements to existing tools. Together with this portfolio, also the 3DM Content Manager and both 3DM Blurring products are updated.

Main new features are :
Semi-automatic fence extraction measurement.
Semi-automatic central line of a railway measurement added to the railway detector.
3D circular arc measurement based on 3 measured coordinates
Improved representation of the planar images overlayed with spherical image

All updates are available today :

As we experience many of Orbit GT customers are using several techniques of reality capture, such as Mobile Mapping, UAS Mapping, Oblique Aerial, Indoor and Terrestrial scanning, we worked hard towards an integration of our portfolio to offer a single product line covering the needs for each of these domains. This native integration is a sure win for every customer and user.

The four stages of 3D Gaussian Splatting reconstruction, visualised as a single progression. A sparse point cloud provides the initial spatial skeleton (left); large overlapping Gaussian primitives are seeded from those points and begin to occupy volume (second); the optimiser densifies and refines those primitives, packing them tighter as the form converges (third); finally, alpha-compositing from the correct viewpoint produces a photorealistic render with no visible primitives remaining (right). The primitives never disappear, they simply become coherent. This is not a surface mesh, not a voxel grid, not a neural network at render time. It is millions of learned ellipsoids, each carrying position, shape, rotation, colour and opacity, composited in depth order at real-time frame rates. Image: Mike Devers / Cr8ive Media
