3D Point Cloud Custom Classifier

Description

3D point cloud classification & vectorization made smart, fast, and accessible.

Pointly is an intelligent, cloud-based B2B software solution to classify and vectorize big data in 3D point clouds.

Point clouds are used for many purposes, including creating 3D CAD models for manufactured parts, metrology and quality inspection, and a multitude of visualization, animation, rendering, and mass customization applications.

Our innovative AI techniques enable efficient automatic as well as advanced manual classification in 3D point clouds – making this process faster and more precise for you than ever before. An intuitive toolset allows for easy vectorization to draw precise 3D models.

Standard Classifiers
By building on deep learning, we train Standard Classifiers for semantic segmentation. With a steady input of training data, the standard classifiers will be able to automate classification for several use cases such as:

• Airborne Laser Scans
• City Inventories & Urban Objects
• Highway Scans

Benefit from automatic point cloud segmentation right upon uploading your data.

Custome Classifiers

Make use of our Pointly 3D Point Cloud Services to train a custom classifier, should our standard classifiers not meet the requirements of your dataset. Our custom classifiers are trained explicitly for the specific needs of our clients.

These classifiers are fully customizable for the proper classification and analysis of your data. After supplying it with enough training data, the custom classifier automatically recognizes the fitting class for each point on upload.

Fast Manual Labeling

Using innovative AI approaches, points that belong together can be selected with minimal effort and high accuracy. Reducing the work of hours to minutes will give you more time for priority tasks. 

Vectorization Features

Create precise 3D models from you point clouds. With our comprehensive toolbox you can easily draw vector models in your point clouds by:

• placing points
• drawing polylines
• creating polygons

Collaboration

Pointly allows project sharing to view and collaborate on point clouds simultaneously. Share them with your clients or your team – our tool allows you to perform classifications on various point clouds at once from any location in the world.

Streamline work processes by applying tags to:

• add properties
• document a status
• assign tasks to team members

API & On Premise Classification

Via an API you can utilize Pointly’s Standard and Custom Classifiers without using the Pointly interface. Like this, classification models can also be integrated into external workflows and platforms. If preferred, it is also possible to create a custom software package that can be executed locally on-premises.

Pointly uses Microsoft’s fast, flexible, and secure Azure Cloud Computing Services. The parallel processing architecture allows elastic and independently scalable processing of even extensive amounts of data.

Secured Cloud Processing

Everything you need to use Pointly is Internet access and a browser. No installation is required – simply sign up and benefit from the power of cloud storage and computing.

There is no need to invest in building data centers, external hardware, or maintenance. “Point out what matters to you,” right out of the box.

Your data is safe with us. Building on Azure’s 256-bit AES encryption standard and advanced threat protection, we protect your information whether in storage or transit.

Your user identity is managed through Azure B2C and ensures that only you have access to your data.

Scalabilty 

The platform is designed tohandle large-scale point cloud data.While more data is uploaded, Pointly dynamically starts additional machines to ensure efficient parallel processing even during peak demand. Like this, you will never run into processing bottlenecks.

Why Pointly?

Pointly offers several Standard Classifiers for automatic classification of different use cases. These include models for Airborne Laser Scans, Mobile Mapping surveys and further to come.

On top there are AI-based tools for efficient manual classification which work independent of the point cloud source (LiDAR, photogrammetry, sonar), making Pointly the ideal tool for any 3D segmentation task.

Want a Custom Classifier? We will train it for you and adapt it specifically for your datasets and desired class catalog. The trained model will be deployed directly on the Pointly platform for your account.

With the intuitive web interface and the integrated 3D viewer you have smooth visualization and easy workflows for your point analysis from anywhere in the world.
