PointCab Share – new, free point cloud viewer

Just in time for Christmas PointCab, known for their fast and easy point cloud processing software, released a new, free point cloud viewer named PointCab Share. The viewer allows users to open .pcp-Projects and view them in several different views, including orthophotos, layouts & sections, panoramic views and a full 3D view of the point cloud. It’s also possible to take additional measurements like 3D points, distances or areas. This facilitates the transfer of point cloud results significantly. The recipient gets a comprehensive visualisation of the data and a better understanding of how the results were produced. PointCab Share therefore helps to tackle a crucial source for errors when it comes to collaboration between different departments and industries.

Thanks to the cooperation between PointCab and GeoSLAM, PointCab Share can also be used by users of GeoSLAM Draw to share their point cloud data conveniently.

LiDAR for Smart Cities: From Vehicles to Intelligent Infrastructure

For many people, LiDAR is still strongly associated with autonomous vehicles: cars scanning roads, detecting pedestrians, cyclists, lane boundaries, and obstacles. This association makes sense because autonomous driving has been one of the most visible areas for LiDAR development. However, the future of LiDAR is not limited to vehicles. A more interesting question is what…

Echolocation Drone Inspired by Bats

Autonomous navigation has been built largely on optical sensing. Cameras, lidar, and sensor fusion systems reconstruct the world through reflected light, translating physical environments into spatial models that machines can interpret and act on. In most conditions, this approach works remarkably well. But it is fundamentally tied to visibility. Smoke, heavy snow, dust, fog, and…
