ScanX Releases 'Area-Specific Ground Extraction' to Reduce Rework in Point Cloud Classification

Locus Blue Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Satoshi Miyatani) has released a new feature, 'Area-Specific Ground Extraction,' in its online AI point cloud processing software 'ScanX' to reduce rework in ground surface extraction.

### Development Background Ground surface extraction (classification) from point cloud data is a critical step in civil engineering, surveying, and construction. However, traditional methods faced challenges such as the inability to re-classify only parts of the filtering results and difficulty in appropriately extracting surfaces for overhanging terrain.

Previously, parameters had to be set for the entire point cloud data within a project. Consequently, reprocessing to fix a single area could affect other correctly classified sections, leading to misclassification, repetitive rework, and decreased operational efficiency.

### About the 'Area-Specific Ground Extraction' Feature This feature allows users to re-process only the areas that need correction, significantly reducing unnecessary rework. Users can adjust parameters and re-run classification for specific zones where the initial results were unsatisfactory.

Benefits include: - Reduction in unnecessary reprocessing - Improved work efficiency - Higher precision ground extraction

Furthermore, the update enables appropriate extraction for overhanging terrain, which was previously difficult to manage. Targeted areas can now be re-processed independently.

### UI Improvement: Optimal Parameter Settings Based on Specific Challenges Alongside this update, the user interface for parameter settings in ground extraction has been improved. While parameter adjustment used to be difficult and required extensive trial and error, the new design allows users to smoothly reach optimal settings by selecting the 'challenge they wish to solve.' This reduces experimentation and allows users to achieve their desired results quickly.
