Software Suite

From raw photons to finished answers.

Acadia is 3DEO’s end-to-end software suite for processing raw Geiger-mode lidar into finished, high-density 3D point clouds — with the metadata your workflow needs.

The pipeline

Raw data → aggregated point cloud → answers.

01 · RAW DATA

Individual photon detections

Millions of single-photon returns per second — real signal mixed with significant noise.

02 · AGGREGATED

Complete picture of the scene

Detections are aggregated and denoised into a dense point cloud with minimal shadowing.

03 · ANSWERS

Labeled, analysis-ready

Points labeled with relative reflectivity, height above ground, and confidence.

Deliverables

High-resolution terrain and surface models.

High-resolution DTMs and DSMs
Points labeled with relative reflectivity & confidence
Typically 10–25 GB per minute of recording
Noise removed, shadows minimized

Integration

Fits the workflow you already have.

Scales with you

Deploy across laptop, on-prem cluster, or cloud for elastic capacity. Licensed per sensor.

Standard formats

View data as LAS and GeoTIFF — compatible with QT Modeller, Global Mapper, and CloudCompare.

Extensible

Easily incorporate customized processing modules into standard 3DEO workflows.
