Applied Imagery Quick Terrain Modeler 8.4.1 (82879) | 3.9 Gb

Applied Imagery is pleased to announce the release of Quick Terrain Modeller 8.4.1 (82879), which enables users to enhance their Geospatial products in a new and exciting way, which we call Geospatial Augmented 3D (GA3D).

What’s New Quick Terrain Modeller 8.4.1 (82879)
For years, users have combined all their geospatial products in QTM (point clouds, DSM/DTMs, imagery, vectors, points), availing themselves of the benefits that the inherent resolution and accuracy of these products delivers. But now users will be able to build on those products and create their own augmented 3D scenes – limited only by your imagination. What does this mean exactly? GA3D enables:

– Correction: In cases where you know a DSM is misrepresenting a spatial situation due to inherent limitations of triangulation/surface creation methodologies, (e.g., fences, trees, powerlines), use QTM’s editing tools to smooth or flatten those areas, then use the new QTM OBJ library to insert a 3D object that is more accurate – an actual fence, tree, or powerline. These objects can easily be scaled to the exact dimensions of the actual object. See power lines in the image below.
– Enhancement: Transient objects such as vehicles and aircraft can be added to the scene to enhance situational awareness and represent a situation as-is. See the helicopter in the image below.
– Simulation: In cases where you want to simulate something that may just be in the planning stages (e.g., a new base camp, housing subdivision), GA3D™ enables adding tents, buildings, fences, towers and other structures that represent the new configuration, which, in turn, facilitates a variety of analyses and subsequent decision making.

Applied Imagery Quick Terrain Modeler 8.4.1

GA3D is enabled by QTM’s support of OBJ 3D mesh files in two distinct implementations: First as a new type of 3D model – just like point clouds and surface models, and second as an attachment to a marker (e.g., an OBJ helicopter model that can be moved around the 3D scene, just like markers). QTM v8.4.1 will include a built-in library of 3D OBJ files (aircraft, vehicles, infrastructure, etc.), but users can create and import their own OBJ models (e.g., in Blender), or import OBJ models from a wide variety of online sources. In addition to GA3D, QTM v8.4.1 also adds a 3D model georegistration tool, upgrades to markers, enhancements to flight route planning, a more comprehensive GRG creation tool, route timing analysis enhancements, new movie creation capabilities, and much more.

Quick Terrain Modeler is the world’s premier 3D point cloud and terrain exploitation software package. Designed for use with LiDAR, but flexible enough to accommodate any 3D data source, Quick Terrain Modeler provides an easy to use software experience that allows users to work with huge 3D data sets, quickly analyze that data, and export a wide variety of export products – all with a minimum of training and experience.

Brief overview of working with publicly available airborne LiDAR and mobile terrestrial LiDAR from Here Technologies
Applied Imagery was founded in 2004 in Silver Spring, MD, a suburb of Washington, D.C., to commercialize software developed at Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Lab (APL). Our commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) software, the Quick Terrain Modeler, is the world’s premier 3D point cloud and terrain exploitation software package. Quick Terrain Modeler is focused on DoD and civilian applications and continues to evolve based on customer feedback. Of note to Government customers, Applied Imagery is designated as a small business and is the sole source for the Quick Terrain Modeler in the United States.
