Autodesk licenses Ambercore point-cloud software

Autodesk product story

Oct 2, 2008
Autodesk has signed an agreement with Ambercore Software to license its point-cloud technology and incorporate it into future releases of Autodesk software.
Point clouds are large data files that are usually created through the use of laser scanning, high-definition surveying, or LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging).
They provide a more accurate representation of existing conditions.
The Ambercore Software point-cloud technology will enable customers to read, store, index and quickly retrieve the large data sets associated with laser scanning and LIDAR.
As a result they will be able to visualise and analyse data in 3D and better build high-precision 3D models.
The software will enable: local government, utility and telecommunications customers to maximise investments in large-scale LIDAR mapping and infrastructure projects; and AEC customers to benefit from Building Information Modelling (BIM) earlier in the project lifecycle.
