New version of DatuSurvey hints at ground control points

February 6, 2017 - By GPS World Staff

Datumate has released DatuSurvey version 5.1 for both Professional and Enterprise editions of the software. DatuSurvey (formerly DatuGram 3D) turns drone- and camera-based images to accurate, georeferenced 2D maps and 3D models, which saves the need for expensive and risky field work and expedites deliveries, according to Datumate.

DatuSurvey Professional V5.1 now also includes:

Ground Control Points Hints – Once the model is built with the minimal requirement of 3 GCP’s on two images each, the system will start showing hints for selected GCP on all images it is not marked in. This will make the GCP marking easier and faster.
Differentiating Clusters in Map View – Different clusters are now shown in different colors in the map view.

DatuSurvey Enterprise V5.1 now also includes:

Dense Point Cloud Generation Quality – Dense Point Cloud may now be generated at four different density levels as specified by the user.
Mesh and Texture Support – Dense Point Cloud may now be generated with mesh or with textured mesh. Mesh and texture may be exported to OBJ format.
True Orthophoto Export Quality – Orthophoto may now be generated at four different resolutions.
Visualization Viewer Improvement – 3D Viewer is able to handle up to 100 million points. Thus, viewing an excellent quality model with mesh and texture.
Volume Calculation Improvement – Volume calculation was improved to allow definition of stockpiles right on the dense point cloud, including physical and base surfaces. The definition process is now faster and easier, and the volume calculation of more precise.
Ground Control Points Hints – Once the model is built with the minimal requirement of three GCP’s on two images each, the system will start showing hints for selected GCP on all images it is not marked in. This will make the GCP marking easier and faster.
Differentiating Clusters in Map View – Different clusters are now shown in different colors in the map view.
