Interpret images and point clouds and automatically extract features
TRANSFORM YOUR LAND MOBILE SENSOR DATA INTO GEOSPATIAL INTELLIGENCE
USING TRIMBLE TRIDENT SOFTWARE BY MANAGING LARGE DATA SETS,
INTERPRETING IMAGES AND POINT CLOUDS, AND AUTOMATICALLY EXTRACTING
FEATURES WITHIN KEY WORKFLOWS.
CREATE GEOSPATIAL INTELLIGENCE SOFTWARE DESIGNED FOR YOUR
Mobile imaging and laser scanning systems create WORKFLOW
immense datasets that can quickly overwhelm Trimble Trident software provides advanced
manual workflows. The Trimble® Trident™ information extraction tailored for the mobile
mapping workflows:
interface is designed for robust object positioning,
measurement, point cloud classification, and
data layer creation­– ideal for the analysis of
geo-referenced imagery and laser scanner data.
Industry-leading functions accelerate projects and
increase productivity, including key automated
processes such as surface modeling, roadway
sign and pole detection, lane marking detection,
edge and breakline detection, road geometry, and
clearance measurements.
