Features Highlights
NEW: PRODUCT ADD-ONS
Enhanced AI Classification (AI Ground+, AI Forestry, AI Utilities)
Building on the success of Automatic AI Ground Classification, LP360 expands its AI-powered classification with new, pre-trained deep learning models that simplify point cloud processing. There’s no training data to collect, no machine learning expertise required, and no parameters to dial in. Just select the AI tool, click a button, and get consistent classification results, faster and with less manual work.
- AI Ground+ Classification expands beyond ground-only classification with above-ground feature segmentation for richer deliverables—ground, vegetation, building roofs, roof objects, walls, fences, vehicles, bridge decks, and water surfaces.
- AI Forestry Classification automates tree segmentation and produces forestry-ready outputs, including canopy, trunks, fallen trees, per-tree vectors, crown polygons, and canopy height model (CHM) rasters.
- AI Utilities Classification is purpose-built for transmission corridors, extracting wires and structures to accelerate utility analysis—wires, towers/poles, insulators, guy/jumper/guard wires, attachment points, plus vegetation.
From surveying and AEC to forestry and utilities, these add-ons streamline classification and feature extraction into a guided, “click-and-go” workflow so you can spend less time classifying and more time delivering.
LP360 Strip Align
Data can exhibit small geometric inconsistence, especially when combining data from multiple flights. Strip Align for LP360 Drone detects and corrects these errors via an application of sensor-specific mathematical modeling. Strip Align is a fully automated process with no need for users to set project-specific “tuning” parameters or to move in and out of the LP360 Drone processing environment – press a button and it works!
LP360 Cloud Collaborate
Take collaboration to the next level with LP360 Cloud Collaborate.
Easily integrate cloud storage, streaming, and advanced search capabilities to optimize your workflow and enhance collaboration among team members, partners, and clients.
- Flexible Cloud Storage: Securely store all your LP360 data in one centralized location. Starting at 200GB, your storage can expand as your project needs grow, ensuring easy access through both LP360 cloud and desktop software.
- Real-Time Data Streaming: Work efficiently on large projects by streaming and sharing only the data you need in real time. You can browse, stream, and share datasets directly from the cloud without downloading full files.
- Automatic Ground Classifications: Benefit from two automatic ground classifications per month to streamline your data processing tasks.
- Power Up with PowerSearch: Easily find your data with PowerSearch. Outline a map section or search your geospatial files by metadata such as location, date, and classification, to instantly find all files containing geolocated points within that area.
- Enhanced Security: Trust in state-of-the-art security protocols and AWS-backed encryption to keep your data safe, securely hosted in Ohio.
