From Point Clouds to Vectors – Automatically

I had a demo of Pointfuse from the folks at Arithmetica at SPAR this spring – it was early in the development process, but their automation goals were inspiring and the team had a lot of talent.

Now it appears they have a product, well, actually a service that they are going to launch at INTERGEO next week. They will process up to 100 million points for 100 pounds. Hmmm, I would have to try it to know if that business model would work for me.

In any case from their press release, “Replacing painstaking and costly manual modelling, Pointfuse uses advanced techniques at the interface of mathematical optimization and computational statistics to automatically and rapidly convert point clouds into accurate vector models that can then be manipulated using any industry-standard CAD system.”
