Lidar360 8.2.2 is a powerful, all-in-one software suite dedicated to the processing, analysis, and visualization of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) point cloud data. Developed by GreenValley International, it provides a comprehensive workflow for professionals in forestry, surveying, urban mapping, and utility management. From raw LAS/LAZ files to final deliverables like digital elevation models, forest structure reports, and 3D city models, Lidar360 integrates a wide array of specialized tools into a cohesive platform, making advanced geospatial analysis accessible and efficient.

 Core Functional Capabilities of Lidar360 8.2.2

• Point Cloud Classification & Filtering
  Automatically organize your LiDAR data. The software uses advanced algorithms to classify points into standard categories (Ground, Building, Vegetation, etc.) and includes specialized modules for power line and tower classification, which is crucial for utility corridor management.

• Digital Terrain & Surface Model Generation
  Create high-precision raster surfaces. Generate Digital Terrain Models (DTM, bare-earth) and Digital Surface Models (DSM) with automated ground point filtering and manual editing tools. These products are foundational for hydrological analysis, contour generation, and engineering design.

• Forestry Inventory & Biomass Analysis
  Extract key forest metrics non-destructively. Lidar360 is renowned for its forestry module, which can calculate tree height, canopy cover, basal area, stem count, and biomass over large areas, providing invaluable data for sustainable forest management and carbon stock assessment.

• 3D Feature Extraction & Modeling
  Build detailed 3D models from point clouds. The software includes tools for semi-automatic extraction of 3D building footprints and models, as well as the generation of digital city models, which are essential for urban planning, simulation, and visualization.

The Lidar360 Advantage in Geospatial Analysis

LiDAR technology captures immense detail, but extracting meaningful information requires sophisticated software. Lidar360 8.2.2 stands out by offering deep vertical applications—like its industry-leading forestry analytics—within a general-purpose point cloud processing environment. This combination allows a single platform to serve multiple departments or project types, from environmental surveys to infrastructure mapping. For organizations investing in aerial or mobile laser scanning, Lidar360 provides the essential toolkit to transform billions of 3D points into actionable intelligence, reports, and models that drive decision-making.
