Qloud, the latest software offering from QPS, is just such an offine tool that is fully integrated with QINSy, the online acquisition software, but also available as a stand-alone package. Handling extremely large datasets, it performs statistically-based data cleaning using parameters such as Total Propagated Error (TPE), IHO S-44 guidelines, in the CUBE algorithms (UNH), and in the Least Square Statistical Spline Method. Qloud imports DTM points from QINSy QPD fles, (includes multiple data attribute fags generated in QINSy), or from any third party point fles, with or without attributes and metadata. The moment the data is loaded into Qloud, the survey is viewed as a single cloud of data points, presented in the full geographical context of ENCs and GeoTIFF imagery.

Automatic data cleaning tools using Clips, Area Spline flters and CUBE, are applied to the entire survey at once, or sequentially to selected sections. Where centre and outer beams overlap, TPE values are used to correctly weight each data point. A full complement of manual editing tools is also available. Whether the data is viewed as individual soundings, or as gridded data, is the user’s choice, often dictated by the deliverable. For example, viewing every last individual sounding is wasted effort if the deliverable is a single mean sounding per grid cell. Flexible viewing options allow, for example, presentation of the SD attribute of a gridded dataset in one pane, and the 3D points cloud in another pane. By pinpointing bad SD values, the spotlight is quickly directed in the points cloud for more focused analysis.

MSEW(3.0) is an interactive program for the design and analysis of mechanically stabilized earth walls. It follows the design guidelines of AASHTO98/Demo 82, AASHTO02/FHWA-NHI-00-043, AASHTO 2007-2010, or NCMA97/98. Note that AASHTO98/02 is based on allowable stress design (ASD) whereas AASHTO 2007-2010 is based on load resistance factor design (LRFD). NCMA is limited to geosynthetic reinforced segmental retaining walls (SRW). Although the program generally follows the guidelines of established design procedures, the user can explore design options and concepts beyond the formal guidelines; the user can override all default values. Such exploration is useful for the development of new systems as well as the occasional need to conduct forensic study.

MSEW(3.0) allows for global stability analysis using Bishop method with circular arc. For more in-depth and efficient global analysis, MSEW(3.0) can export data files for analysis using ReSSA(2.0). The exported data includes elements such as connection strength thus facilitating a more comprehensive stability analysis for which ReSSA is ideal. Furthermore, by a click of a button, virtually all tables in MSEW(3.0) can be exported to Excel or be printed. Files generated using MSEW(2.0) can be read using MSEW(3.0). The same applied to database files.

ADAMA Engineering developed the copyrighted program MSEW Version 1.0 for the US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) []. Version 1.0 has been designated exclusively for use by US State Highway Agencies and by US Federal agencies. ADAMA Engineering offers version 3.0 to the public. This version includes many enhancements such as calculations of quantities, more versatile surcharge loads, use of Coulomb lateral earth pressures for both internal and external stability, user's generated databases, improved presentation of slope stability results, graphic files compatible with AutoCAD®, design methods based on NCMA or LRFD, and more.

The Help in MSEW(3.0) software includes relevant sections of Demonstration Project 82 (Publication No. FHWA-SA-96-071) as well as a revised version of Demo82 (FHWA NHI-00-043). These manuals serve as the basis for AASHTO 98/02 (ASD). The details of AASHTO LRFD design are provided in the Bridge Section of AASHTO guidelines; it is recommended that the user purchase a copy of these guidelines from AASHTO.
MSEW(3.0) also includes an option to use the NCMA design method. This option is limited to block (segmental) walls having simple geometry and using geosynthetic reinforcement (same as the instructions in the NCMA guidelines). The NCMA design procedure, as implemented in MSEW(3.0), is detailed in:

Unique, Efficient Foundation
The inherent completeness of 3D point clouds represents one of their major advantages over other sources of geometric information. Cyclone's unique Object Database Client/Server software architecture provides the highest performance environment for laser scanning projects. Cyclone software makes it easy for users to manage data efficiently in databases. Users can work concurrently on databases, thereby reducing the need to copy and/or transmit large point cloud project files.

Cyclone Modules for Flexible Configuration
Leica Cyclone is comprised of individual software modules for different needs and for flexible product customization.

Cyclone-REGISTER
Cyclone-REGISTER provides the complete set of tools for aligning point clouds captured from different scanning positions, quickly and accurately. Cyclone-REGISTER supports the use of Leica Geosystems HDS targets to geo-reference scan data, as well as the ability to align overlapping areas of point clouds – without the use of targets. This results in optimum registration, and provides significant time- and cost-savings by reducing the need to place and extract targets.

Cyclone-MODEL
This versatile, powerful module enables professionals to use point clouds directly, to process them into objects for robust export into CAD (and other applications), and to allow robust import of data from CAD (and other applications). Cyclone-MODEL has the industry's largest, most complete and automated set of tools for accurately modeling 3D point clouds as CAD geometry or as meshes for engineering, surveying, construction, architectural and related applications.

Cyclone-SURVEY
Cyclone-SURVEY lets surveyors quickly extract relevant feature and coordinate information from the point cloud data via the Cyclone Virtual Surveyor™ function. Powerful tools support complex topographic models, with intelligent mesh decimation that minimizes file size while retaining accurate geometry. Cyclone-SURVEY is a subset of the Cyclone-MODEL product and is an ideal module for surveyors.

Cyclone-IMPORTER
Many organizations find the need to utilize scanners from other providers but would prefer to process this data with Leica's software solutions.
Through direct agreements with many of the other scanner manufactures, Cyclone IMPORTER  provides direct importing of the native point cloud formats from these manufacturers.

• Faro
• Riegl
• Optech

Cyclone-BASIC
Cyclone-BASIC operates time-of-flight and phase-based Leica Geosystems scanners. Users can manage scan parameters; scan target acquisition; field QA; digital imaging; geo-referencing; and more depending on scanner capabilities. In the office, Cyclone BASIC provides viewing and navigating of point clouds and 3D models, as well as measurement and mark up/redlining. Cyclone BASIC is a versatile "back-office” data exchange module, supporting imports and exports of a wide range of formats..

Cyclone-SERVER
Cyclone-SERVER enables individual members of workgroups to simultaneously access 3D point cloud data sets and/or models. This provides a powerful environment for collaborative design on large, complex projects, and can significantly reduce project execution time. Cyclone- SERVER supports the simultaneous connection of one through ten 'client' users to the same data server in a network environment. These clients can be licensees of Cyclone-REGISTER, MODEL, SURVEY, VIEWER, or Cyclone CloudWorx for AutoCAD and for MicroStation.

Leica TruView and Cyclone-PUBLISHER
Leica Cyclone-PUBLISHER publishes point cloud data for web-based sharing and viewing allowing access from anywhere in the world. Using the FREE Leica TruView panoramic point cloud viewer, users can view, zoom in, or pan over point clouds naturally and intuitively.
