Leica Geosystems have announced Leica Cyclone v7.3.2. New Leica Cyclone fully supported the recently released ASTM E57 sandard for 3D Imaging data exchange, which includes 3D laser scanning systems.
This capability facilitates direct import and export of laser scan “as-built” data and related digital imagery from different types of laser scanning systems into and between different types of point cloud processing software. This general type of laser scan and image data exchange process using vendor-specific or other neutral formats can sometimes otherwise be problematic.
