Introduction to ROCK Desktop
ROCK Desktop is a comprehensive desktop software designed for processing and generating colorized and calibrated point cloud files. By leveraging a vast array of calibration tools and precision-tuning features, it guarantees optimal data extraction every time you fly. Whether you're using the ROCK R3 Pro, ROCK R2A, or ROCK R360 — ROCK Desktop stands ready to serve your processing needs.
ROCK Desktop Main Functions
- Data Integration: ROCK Desktop efficiently amalgamates raw data from your device's IMU, laser scanner, camera, GNSS, and base station data, paving the way for the creation of a precise trajectory.
- 3D Point Cloud Generation: By projecting this accurate trajectory, the software creates an intricate and detailed 3D Point Cloud to give users a holistic view of the surveyed terrain.
Flexibility in Data Processing
Whether you're out in rugged terrains or sitting comfortably in your office, ROCK Desktop offers the flexibility of processing raw data both in-field and off-site. This portability means you can take your laptop to your survey site, fly your drone, and generate a point cloud on the spot to ensure real-time validation of captured data.
