As global infrastructure continues to age, traditional monitoring and management methods of buildings are becoming increasingly inadequate. Greenvalley International (GVI) offers a robust ecosystem of LiDAR products designed to help clients seamlessly transform point cloud data into precise 3D models, addressing the challenges of building maintenance and repair.

GVI's product lineup includes the LiAir series of airborne LiDARs, LiGrip handheld LiDARs, LiBase GNSS base stations, and the powerful LiDAR360 processing software. This complete solution covers the entire workflow from point cloud data acquisition to 3D model generation, significantly improving efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness.

Customer Needs and Challenges

Through collaboration with clients worldwide, GVI has identified several common challenges in building modeling:

Lack of Building Documentation: Many older structures do not have detailed architectural plans, making maintenance and renovation efforts more complex.

High Cost of Traditional Methods: Conventional surveying techniques are labor-intensive, require significant equipment, and can be expensive, often failing to meet modern project demands.

Complex Data Handling: Even when point cloud data is captured, the size and complexity of raw data make it time-consuming to transfer and process. The conversion into usable 3D models can also be intricate and slow.

To address these pain points, GVI provides an efficient solution for rapidly converting point cloud data into detailed 3D models.

Core Advantages of the Solution

Comprehensive Data Acquisition

The LiAir series of airborne LiDARs quickly captures high-precision point cloud data for buildings, making it ideal for complex terrains and varied application scenarios. With automated flight paths, the collection process is seamless and efficient.

The LiGrip handheld LiDAR series offers exceptional flexibility, enabling users to capture detailed point cloud data of complex ground structures with ease, providing real-time visual feedback.

Accurate Positioning SupportThe LiBase GNSS Base Station delivers high-precision positioning, ensuring data accuracy and reliability when used with other LiDAR devices. This positioning is suitable for a range of surveying environments and measurement needs.

Advanced Point Cloud Processing

LiDAR360 software offers extensive processing capabilities, enabling one-click functions such as trajectory adjustment, point cloud classification, and POS processing. The software simplifies automated data processing and delivers accurate analysis, significantly reducing post-processing time and effort.

The 3D Building module in LiDAR360 enables automatic extraction of building models from classified point clouds. The module supports manual editing and saves the models, while real-time previews allow users to refine building models with precision. The resulting models can be exported in formats like OBJ, FBX, and CityJSON for smooth integration with third-party tools.

Automatic extraction of building outlines and generation of 3D building models.

Automatic generation of building textures from UAV image data

Manual editing of building models and textures 

Time and Cost Savings

Compared to traditional methods, GVI’s solutions drastically reduce the time required for point cloud data collection and 3D modeling, minimizing dependence on traditional surveying equipment and reducing overall project costs. Automated processing further reduces manual on-site work, improving project management efficiency.
