• Different analysis algorithms available with configurable parameters
• Extraction of an unlimited number of targets per emitted laser pulse
• Coordinate transformation into the well-defined Scanner’s Own Coordinate System
• Smooth integration into RiPROCESS
• Point Cloud with additional target descriptors
• First, second, …., last target indication
• Pulse width and pulse amplitude
• Time stamp (UTC, GPS)
• Different data output formats for a variety of post-processing software packages
The latest upgrades are:
• Automated MTA zone detection
• Advanced time stamp correction of data (UTC, GPS)
RIEGL RiWORLD 4.3.6
The RIEGL RiWORLD software combines LiDAR and trajectory data that produces real world point clouds. The main features are:
• Transformation of laser data into the coordinate system of the position and orientation data set

• Processes a large number of files for unattended operation in batch mode
• Provides different data output formats including LAS format
• Smooth integration into RiPROCESS
• Makes use of geometrical system description and calibration information
• Supports different formats of position and orientation data
• Compatible with different definitions of the navigation frames
The latest upgrades are:
• Improved performance
• GeoSys Manager
• Fully LAS file format 1.2 compliant
RIEGL GEOSys Manager Utility 1.2.1
RIEGL GEOSys Manager is a LiDAR data management tool for coordinate systems and projections. The latest upgrades are:

• Supports the EPSG geodetic data set
• Support for Lambert Conformal, Transverse Mercator and Oblique Mercator projections
• Native implementation of GeoID-09
• Customizable projections ellipsoids and transformation perimeters
• Native implementation of all NAD 83 state plane coordinate systems
• Integrated geodetic calculator
• No need to leave your workflow
RIEGL POF- IMPORT UTILITY 1.4
RIEGL POF-Import is a trajectory conversion utility for LiDAR processing. The latest upgrades are:
• Allows for multiple types of trajectory files
• Allows for importing quality information about the trajectory
• Improved analysis of the LiDAR accuracy based on trajectory quality
