Clauss
Clauss presents its laser-photogrammetric measurement system, RODEON metric, which makes it easier than ever before to create exact 2D floor plans and detailed 3D models. After capturing a 100 MP 360° panoramic image in only 2 minutes, measurement points can be set with the integrated laser. All objects that are of interest, such as walls, ceiling, floor space or furnishings, are measured automatically by clicking directly at the points in a ‘VR Tour' viewing mode. In this effective working mode, measuring points are directly positioned in the picture. The user-friendly software offers many automatisms and geometric tools, and edges and corners are calculated automatically. The result is either a dimensionally correct 2D floor plan or a 3D object model with photorealistic textures. www.dr-clauss.de www.laserphotogrammetry.com Stand no. 6.A36 COWI

Imagination will be launching scanopy, the brand new real-time editor for data acquired with laser scanning systems, at Intergeo. Scanopy is the best solution for experiencing huge point clouds
(>109 points) in real time. The software can be used as a desktop solution, including all features needed to edit, view and measure point clouds as well as to prepare exciting public presentations. Several examples of 3D data will be on display and can be excessively tested. www.imagination.at/scanopy Stand no. 7.C19 Imajing
Imajing designs a mapping tool chain to survey and manage road, rail and waterway networks. From ground survey to web services and applications, the imajing tool chain ensures 3D referencing, visualisation, management and qualification of the whole thematic set related to transportation infrastructure. When implemented in urban roadways, roads, railways or waterways, imajing portable mobile mapping devices (imajbox) and software (imajview, imajnet) offer coherent and integrated solutions for producing, updating and sharing network data. Imajing will be exhibiting a new link in its technological chain: a plug-in for direct access to data and images produced with imajbox in ArcGIS. www.imajing.eu Stand no. 7.B13 Imajbox portable mobile mapping and imajnet: survey and share network data.

Wmsbox is an internet service platform which offers the possibility to publish geospatial data with just a few clicks as a web mapping service (WMS). WMS is a standard protocol for
streaming georeferenced map imagery over the internet to web-based applications and is
supported by many geographic information systems. The wmsbox supports the web mapping service standards of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and of the German Geodata Infra-structure (GDI-DE). Once registered, users are able to publish their geospatial data within a few steps. Upload a shapefile or GeoTIFF to the wmsbox server, set the general and display options and the geospatial data is ready to be published. The WMS can be offered either publicly or protected. wmsbox is designed for companies and authorities who do not have the technical possibilities to set up their own WMS server. The tech-nology of the wmsbox is being developed as open source software. www.webgis.de www.wmsbox.de Stand no. 7.E75 and 7A.E41

InfoEra
InfoEra has released a fast-to-learn and easy-to-use point cloud toolbox for AutoCad Undet. Undet is low-cost, entry-level point cloud processing software for object analysis, 2D drafting and 3D modelling. With just a core feature set, Undet enables point clouds to be managed and used quickly and easily without extensive training. Point Cloud ToolBox is small yet strong, just like the Leafcutter ant (Undet), and can easily ‘lift' the huge point clouds within AutoCAD to increase 2D drafting and 3D modelling productivity. www.infoera.com Stand no. 7.E78 Intergraph
As one of the leading global vendors of GIS software, Intergraph will be presenting Motion Video Exploitation (MVE), Geospatial Transportation Asset Management System (GeoTrAMS) and GeoMedia Smart Client. GeoMedia Smart Client delivers an enterprise geospatial platform to support large numbers of users who are unable to operate full desktop products. The web-based system GeoTrAMS generates and displays infrastructural information to support the day-to-day operations of local public transport companies. MVE leverages full motion video, giving analysts the ability to collect, analyse, and maximise the value of video assets, including image enhancement and integration with multiple georeferenced sources. www.intergraph.com Stand no. 7A.C60 and 7A.C7
ITT Visual
ITT Visual Information Solutions provides industry-leading software solutions for extracting important information from geospatial imagery. The company will be on the Esri stand, showcasing ENVI software which streamlines the GIS workflow by delivering image analysis capabilities directly to the ArcToolbox for both the desktop and enterprise.

iXBlue
iXSea launches QUADRANS, the most complete all-in-one, high-grade inertial navigation system ever designed for airborne and land survey applications. QUADRANS offers sensors, a GPS, a data logger, and all the necessary interface systems and computing electronics together in one housing. "We are delighted to introduce QUADRANS to the industry," said Stephane Loeul, sales director, iXSea.
"QUADRANS capitalises on iXSea's 25 years of experience in designing ITAR-free, fibre-optic gyroscope-based IMUs for applications as demanding as satellite stabilisation and survey. We have spent a great deal of time and effort on downsizing our field-proven fibre-optic gyroscope technology. The result is that we have managed to maintain high performance standards and keep the price of the product very attractive. The market has not seen a product like this before. Its performance makes it a valuable option for most UAV, Lidar mapping, digital imaging and hyperspectral sensing applications. QUADRANS opens up new possibilities for users with limited budgets." www.ixblue.com Stand no. 7.B3 QUADRANS.
