Terrasolid TerraScan
Helsinki, Finland
What it is
Terrasolid TerraScan is Windows desktop software for managing, processing, and visualizing point clouds. It classifies laser points with automatic routines that can be refined using semi-automatic or manual tools, and creates 3D vector data from laser points. Automated modeling can produce building vector models up to LOD2 over large areas and vectorize power lines. Classification routines can be combined into macros for batch processing, while TerraBatch can run macros on other workstations over a LAN. Supported import and export formats include LAS, LAZ, TerraScan Binary, TerraScan Fast Binary, and user-defined ASCII formats. TerraScan comes in Full, UAV, and Lite editions, with network or node-locked licenses. A network license lets multiple users on the same network share product licenses. Subscriptions include maintenance; perpetual licenses have separate annual maintenance costs. The maker lists applications across urban planning, asset management, emergency response, mapping, powerline, road, railway, water resources, forestry, and mining. A free trial is listed. Prices include TerraScan Full — 2-month subscription at €612, paid once and TerraScan Lite — perpetual license at €1,900, paid once.
