ContextCapture
Create 3D models from simple photographs and/or point clouds. Reality modeling is the process of capturing the physical reality of an infrastructure asset, creating a representation of it, and maintaining it through continuous surveys. Bentley's reality modeling software, ContextCapture, provides you with real-world digital context in the form of a 3D reality mesh. A reality mesh is a 3D model of real-world conditions that contains large amounts of triangles and image data. Each digital component can be automatically recognized and/or geospatially referenced, providing you with an intuitive and immersive way to navigate, find, view, and query your asset information. You can use reality meshes in many engineering, maintenance, or GIS workflows to provide precise real-world digital context for design, construction, and operations decisions.

TerraScan
TerraScan, developed by Terrasolid, is a specialized software solution for managing and processing various types of point clouds, including those from airborne, mobile, UAV, and terrestrial laser scanning. It offers robust import and project structuring tools to handle extensive datasets from laser scanning campaigns, along with corresponding trajectory information. The software features automatic, semi-automatic, and manual classification routines, enabling efficient filtering and categorization of point clouds. Users can generate 3D vector models of buildings up to Level of Detail 2 (LOD2) across large areas, vectorize power lines, conduct corridor analyses to identify potential hazards and assess road surface conditions, including the detection of paint lines and curbstones. TerraScan supports multiple import and export formats, such as LAS, LAZ, TerraScan Binary, and user-defined ASCII formats, ensuring compatibility with various data sources.
