Smart Object Segmentation Experience

Cyclone 3DR 2025.1 includes a new segmenting technology built from AI technology. This technology is deployed in multiple features across the product which results in the era of a new Smart Object Segmentation Experience.

This new technology relies on the AI-trained identification of objects in 2D and facilitates the contour identification of objects on images or in the 3D Scene. This allows the isolation of objects, assets or regions, for cleaning purposes, classification or intelligent segmentation.

The usage of the tool is described in the following section for the following features:

  • Point Clouds | Clean Separate
  • Point Clouds | Manual Classification
  • Meshes ­| Clean Separate
  • Images | Edit Mask


Improved Support for Mobile Scan Data (3)

LGSx files can now be edited in 3DR and republished including native assets such as scan positions, scan images and geotags. This allows the use the powerful cleaning, classification and reduction capabilities of Cyclone 3DR to optimise an LGSx file, without loosing valuable assets such as panoramic images.

The resulting LGSx files can be consumed in downstream products such as CloudWorx, Reality Cloud Studio, Cyclone ENTERPRISE and TruView Desktop.


Improved Support for Mobile Scan Data (4)

Within Cyclone 3DR 2025.1, Points on Grid feature has been significantly improved with additional features along the workflow:

  • New fencing tool
  • New capacity to assign COGO points to points (enabled with the Survey and PRO Editions only)
  • New export features (enabled with the Survey and PRO Editions only)

To extract and export points of grid, select the input point cloud in your project and run the command, moved into the Extract menu.
