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.

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.
