Maptek introduce improved I-Site Studio 3.3
Improvements to Maptek’s I-Site Studio 3.3 laser scan modelling software are designed to streamline routine mine surveying tasks.
Automatic toe and crest detection saves time in open pit surveys. Surveyors can update mine models, which can also be made available for both on-site mine planners and regulatory authorities. This builds on the open pit update tool in I-Site Studio 3.2, which allows users to scan selected sections of a pit and integrate the new data into the current pit model.
A new global registration tool uses a single step process to register multiple scans and objects together. This saves time for surveyors, who previously had to match pairs of objects/data. Accuracy is also increased because fewer registrations mean fewer chances for error. This tool is especially useful with the new Maptek I-Site vehicle system, where the scanner is mounted on site vehicles.
Viewing sections through laser scan data is now easier, with an interactive tool that allows users to arbitrarily place and manipulate section planes.
I-Site Studio 3.3 incorporates many user suggestions, eg surveyors have specifically asked to be able to label elevations on generated contour lines.
As with any software release, I-Site Studio 3.3 includes a range of enhancements - the number of selected objects and primitives can be dynamically displayed; the language interface is chosen automatically based on the PC settings; and users can submit reports to Maptek directly from within I-Site Studio.
I-Site Studio is sold bundled with Maptek laser scanners, or as a stand-alone modelling package. Photography from multiple scans can be incorporated as part of the modelling process, with rendering and animation options delivering professional quality, high-fidelity digital video output.
