A new package from Topcon Positioning Group can help with collaboration and sharing for 3D point cloud data. This web-based service is for integration with the MAGNET Collage desktop mass data processing software — MAGNET Collage Web.


According to the firm, the MAGNET Collage Web allows users to access data through a web browser that integrates with the MAGNET Collage Office version. The package means that users can publish and share mass data maps in a user-friendly and intuitive 3D web-based environment. The firm also says that the solution offers better access to point cloud models by eliminating the need for installed software with high-performance computing requirements.

MAGNET Collage is intended to offer a single environment solution for professionals processing and publishing data from laser scanners, mobile mapping devices, modern paving scanners, and surveying tools. 342 Topcon says that the web service features fast-loading point cloud visualisation combined with high-fidelity rendering to reveal precision data on demand.
