AGTEK, part of Hexagon, announced today the introduction of REVEAL, a new solution that significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of point cloud editing for construction applications. REVEAL allows users to delete unnecessary objects automatically using the power of artificial intelligence (AI) for faster and more accurate takeoff and quantity tracking. Designed specifically for the heavy construction industry for use with point clouds collected from drones or laser scanners, REVEAL eliminates the manual removal of elements from point clouds and provides exact data in a fast, uncomplicated process. The result is a significantly quicker time to bare ground and more accurate results. Artificial intelligence makes your job easier Using AI, REVEAL recognises the objects it captures on your job site and clusters them into groups, such as construction vehicles, material stockpiles, ground and vegetation. Users can quickly remove each of these groups, providing a clear picture of the job site. This allows the
