CHC Navigation launches the new version of CoPre Software

CHC Navigation launches the new version of CoPre LiDAR Processing Software, an even more powerful and intuitive software suite for seamless 3D LiDAR data and image processing.

Shanghai, China – April 22, 2022 – CHC Navigation (CHCNAV) today released the new CoPre v2.4 LiDAR processing software, a powerful software ecosystem developed by CHCNAV allowing users to process mobile geospatial mapping data quickly and efficiently. CoPre features accurate trajectory processing through a proprietary algorithm, point cloud and image georeferencing, data adjustment for post-processing accuracy, point cloud colorization, filtering and digital ortho model (DOM) generation.

"3D reality capture professionals are increasingly adopting CHCNAV's LiDAR solutions from all over the world. To provide an enhanced user experience, our latest CoPre v2.4 release offers further features and a streamlined workflow for post-processing raw data from CHCNAV's LiDAR systems," said Andrei Gorb, Product Manager of CHC Navigation's Mapping and Geospatial Division. "Whether you want to process data from the airborne AlphaAir 450 LiDAR + RGB system, perform massive data processing from the vehicle-mounted Alpha3D, or get the results of the corridor mapping project with the AA2400 on a helicopter, CoPre will support all your mapping scenarios."

EXTREME DATA QUALITY

CoPre can handle the layering of multiple point clouds and improve relative accuracy with an efficient strip adjustment algorithm. Advanced calibration and optimization techniques result in point clouds that are up to 30% less thick than comparable products.

AUTOMATED PROCESSING

Automatic point cloud processing, image georeferencing, point cloud colorization, depth maps and results output are available in a single click.

EFFICIENT DATA ANALYSIS

CoPre includes various powerful options for analyzing data after processing steps. It supports the visualization of massive datasets with multiple colorization options. Automatic trajectory slicing and stratification checks can be performed, allowing quick detection of misalignment in the entire dataset.

The CoPre software is available worldwide today through the CHCNAV distribution network.
