What is topography feature extraction and what is it used for?

Topography feature extraction is the process of using specialized software tools to extract specific features from point cloud data collected by laser scanners or other surveying methods.

ArenaCAD is a proud TopoDOT user, which we use to automate the extraction of features such as topography break lines, road surfaces, bare earth, buildings, bridges, and other structural 3D models. TopoDOT provides a highly productive process for managing data, assessing quality, and extracting CAD and GIS products that exceed our clients` requirements and expectations.

    What are topographic plans and why are they important?

    Topographic plans are drawings that represent the main physical characteristics of a terrain (buildings, fences, roads, rivers, lakes, forests, and green spaces, etc.), as well as variations in elevation between verticals or forms of relief. Topographic plans are useful for architects and civil engineers to make the best decisions regarding project design and coordination. Additionally, topo plans are documents that can establish the boundaries of a property.

    In this sense, topographic feature extraction is essential for planning and making decisions regarding the development of a site, planning new buildings, repositioning existing boundaries, or designing drainage systems. Additionally, topographic plans help you save considerable time and, because they provide accurate data, reduce the risk of costly errors.
