TBC Does That: Extract Linear Features From Point Clouds

Extract Linear Features From Point Clouds

Use the Extract Line Features command to extract linestrings from overhead utility lines or curb and gutter features displayed in point clouds. Intuitive, interactive 3D controls make it easy to define scan point search parameters. And if TBC encounters a problem during the extraction process due to line feature irregularities, you are provided a menu of clear options on how best to proceed.


Before saving the extracted linestrings, you can use the post-extraction QA/QC tools to verify and make changes to any of the lines as necessary (for example, ignore or mark the line, or apply smoothing options).
