ClassNK-PEERLESS is modeling software that allows you to create 3D models from point clouds collected with a 3D laser scanner.

Not only TLS but also photogrammetry and LiDAR are becoming widely used. In particular, point cloud measurement with an iPhone/iPad LiDAR is gaining attention for its ease of use and portability.

An increasing number of applications have adopted LiDAR alone or in combination with TLS.

Easy measurement and 3D modeling with an iPhone/iPad LiDAR scanner device

iPhones and iPads are highly portable. The built-in LiDAR scanner makes it easy to take measurements. You can also create 3D models from the collected point clouds.

Measurement results and 3D model

Let’s use your smartphone to scan places that a 3D laser scanner can’t.

One of the advantages of a 3D laser scanner is that it can measure a “whole” area that can be seen from the scanner’s location. It can measure a large area at the same time. However, it is not suitable for measuring narrow or shaded areas.

Due to its portability, an iPhone/iPad can measure areas that are unsuitable for 3D laser scanners. Why not combine the point clouds collected with a 3D laser scanner and those collected with an iPhone/iPad and take advantage of each?

Reduced modeling time and easy for anyone to operate.

“Modeling cost = Modeling time x Unit cost of operators”

＜Reasons why modeling with ClassNK-PEERLESS improves work efficiency＞
　・Various modeling features suitable for different target objects are available as standard features.
　　ClassNK-PEERLESS resulted in reducing man-hours by approximately 70%.
　・With priority given to usability and operability, anyone can easily learn to use ClassNK-PEERLESS.
　 It reduces the unit cost of operators and eliminates the risk of being dependent on a particular worker.

ClassNK-PEERLESS software reduces both coefficients in the cost calculation.

3D modeling can be streamlined by involving a wide range of human resources, from full-time employees with expertise to part-time employees without expertise, in creating 3D models and by having the created 3D models reviewed by experts using Viewer (for free).
