This paper outlines the technical transition of Terrasolid’s industry-standard LiDAR processing software to the platform.
LiDAR processing is rarely a "one-click" solution. It involves classification (ground, vegetation, buildings), noise removal, and thinning. In a LAS file, editing a point requires rewriting large portions of the file. Spatix allows "in-place" editing. When you change a point’s classification from "medium vegetation" to "low vegetation," the Spatix engine updates only that specific block of data without re-saving the entire cloud. terrasolid spatix
However, Terrasolid has begun bridging the gap. Newer versions of the Spatix engine support streaming from cloud storage (AWS S3 or Azure Blob) using a cached index. This means you can store your master Spatix file in the cloud, and your local TerraScan will only download the cells you need. Spatix This paper outlines the technical transition of
