Noise filtering — A clean cloud before any classification

Isolated and building-edge noise detected and removed ahead of every downstream model.

Noise filtering — classified point cloud
What it does

Every survey carries noise — atmospheric returns, birds, multipath and scan-edge artefacts that corrupt surfaces and inflate volumes. The noise model detects and isolates these returns first, lifting the accuracy of every other model that runs after it. It runs automatically ahead of aerial, mobile and corridor classification.

Available categories

What it classifies.

Every point is assigned a typed class — then vectorised into objects your workflow consumes.

07Low isolated noise (below ground)
18High isolated noise (dust, birds, cloud)
High building noise (interiors / edges)
23Points below ground
Noise catalogue

Noise patterns, across sensors

The same model isolates low and high noise consistently, whatever the sensor or survey. Detected once, up front, so every downstream model runs on a clean cloud.
