PolyWorks capabilities are
tailored to the needs of surveyors in the field of open-pit mining,
allowing:
| |
Accurate scan alignment using
the geometrical shape of the scene, with no need for field targets.
|
| |
Easy geo-referencing of the
entire point cloud using a minimum of three known points in
the real-world coordinate system, or three known scanner positions |
| |
Automatic extraction of relevant
features, such as terrain profiles and contours, which can be
exported to DXF, IGES, and imported to DGN. |
| |
Quick extraction of multiple
measurements, such as distances, angles, radii, volume and more. |
| |
Visualization of scanned
scenes using colored point clouds or colored polygonal models.
|
|
|
 |
| |
PolyWorks combines point matching and
a powerful best-fit alignment method to align scans using the
geometrical shape of the scene.
|
| |
No field targets are required for the
alignment. However, markers can be used in the scene to validate
the alignment results.
|
 |
 |
|
Interactive
side-by-side mode for matching points
|
Three aligned
scans |
|
 |
 |
 |
| The aligned point cloud is
geo-referenced in local mine coordinates using
a minimum of three known point coordinates |
The geo-referencing consists in matching the target
points in the scene to their corresponding GPS points |
|
 |
Various measurements can be taken directly on point
clouds or on polygonal models, such as:
| |
Distances (horizontal, vertical,
slope) |
| |
Angles (bearing, azimuth) |
| |
Radii |
| |
Volumes |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Horizontal distance between two selected points |
Vertical distance of an open-pit mine
(200.130 Meters) |
|
 |
PolyWorks offers automatic
and interactive tools to extract valuable features directly on the point cloud
such as:
|
|
Cross-sections (e.g. profile and
contour lines) |
|
|
Colored boundaries (e.g. coal seam) |
|
|
Sharp edges |
|
|
Feature lines |
|
|
And more. |
|
 |
| |
Contour lines
|
 |
Export of Extracted
Features
| |
All features extracted in PolyWorks can be exported to DXF and
IGES |
| |
Extracted features can also be directly imported into
MicroStation V7 and V8 |
| |
User-defined Feature Codes and Layer Names can be used in the
export process |
| |
PolyWorks also generates reports
in Excel, Word, and HTML
|

|
|
|
NB : If needed, all features can also be
directly extracted on polygonal models |
