The workflow begins with capturing LiDAR data using a UAV. The data is initially processed in the drone manufacturer's software, such as DJI Terra, to generate a preliminary, raw point cloud. Within Terrasolid, the user then creates a new project using the "New Drone Project" command from the TerraScan Wizard menu. This step involves importing the data and defining the specific scanner system used (e.g., DJI L1, L2, or L3).
: Rapidly calculate the volume of stockpiles or track the progress of large-scale earthworks.
Beyond just mapping, it’s used to vectorize power lines, find "danger trees" leaning toward wires, and calculate the volume of stockpiles in quarries.
It computes precise cut-and-fill volumes for stockpiles, open-pit mines, and construction sites. Key Features and Capabilities Advanced Ground Classification terrasolid uav
The "UAV" versions of Terrasolid’s flagship products offer nearly the same functionality as their "Pro" counterparts but are restricted to smaller point cloud sizes (typically up to 50-100 million points), making them an affordable entry point for drone service providers. 1.

The ability to fix misalignment caused by IMU errors at low altitude is unmatched.
| Industry | Application | Key Terrasolid Module(s) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Accurate stockpile volume measurement, cut-and-fill analysis, site monitoring and planning. | TerraModeler (volume calculations), TerraScan (classification) | | Construction & Civil Engineering | Site progress monitoring, cut-and-fill volume calculation, DTM generation for machine control and planning. | TerraModeler, TerraScan | | Corridor Mapping (Power Lines, Roads, Railways) | Vectorization of power lines, corridor analysis for danger objects (e.g., vegetation encroachment), and road surface condition analysis (paint lines, curbs). | TerraScan, TerraModeler | | Forestry & Environmental Management | Classification of low/medium/high vegetation, ground point determination for DTM generation, and biomass estimation. New AI-based methods use vegetation indices to improve classification. | TerraScan | | Emergency Response & Disaster Management | Rapidly creating topographic maps in post-disaster scenarios (floods, earthquakes). Used for damage assessment and creating elevation models for modeling flood plains or mudflow paths. | TerraScan, TerraModeler | | Urban Planning & Smart Cities | Creating 3D city models (LOD2), analyzing solar/shadow patterns, and integrating data for noise or flood analysis. | TerraScan, TerraPhoto, TerraModeler | | Infrastructure Inspection (Oil & Gas, Dams, Bridges) | Conducting detailed inspections of critical infrastructure for structural integrity, corrosion, and encroachments. Delivering detailed 3D models for asset management. | TerraScan, TerraMatch |
