Data streams of RIEGL V-Line are binary data streams in RXP format (RIEGL eXtended Packets). The data stream is optimized for data generation and data transfer, but is not designed for straightforward further data processing, e.g., for extracting the 3D points actually measured by a V-Line scanner.
RIEGL V-Line instruments provide a well-documented comprehensive command and configuration interface to set the instrument's properties and to control data acquisition. From a programmer‘s perspective, RiVLib is a library that sits between application code and the operating system. Linux, as well as Windows®, are supported.
RiVLib is the well documented platform independent software library ...
RiWaveLIB provides straightforward and well-documented access to the digitized echo signals recorded by selected RIEGL laser scanners during data acquisition. The digitized echo signals, also known as waveform data, are the basis for the so-called full waveform analysis which deduces ranging information and additional data from the waveforms. Additionally, the library enables access to the time stamp and measurement direction for each measurement and thus enables the user to calculate point cloud data based on their own algorithms for the full waveform analysis.
RiWaveLIB provides access to both waveform data formats used by RIEGL, the SDF file format used by RIEGL LMS-Q560 and RIEGL LMS-Q680i, and ...
Acquiring data in terrestrial laser scanning with high measurement rates over long ranges frequently results in range ambiguities. Instruments with multiple-time-around capability (MTA), like the RIEGL VZ-4000, include information in the acquired data which the RiMTA TLS utilizes to resolve these ambiguities. Instead of requiring users to manually specify the correct MTA zone for each data set or even subset of data, RiMTA TLS automatically calculates the MTA zone for each measurement .
In order to correctly determine the range to the target with a LiDAR instrument using time-of-flight measurements with short laser pulse intervals, it is necessary to correctly determine the correlation of each received echo pulse to its ...
Acquiring data in airborne laser scanning with high measurement rates from high altitudes frequently results in range ambiguities. Instruments with multiple-time-around capability (MTA) like the LMS-Q780 or the VQ-580 data that can be utilized to resolve these ambiguities in post-processing. Instead of manually specifying the correct MTA zone for range calculation, RiMTA ALS will detect the correct MTA zone for each measurement automatically.
The correct resolution of ambiguous echo ranges is accomplished using RiMTA ALS in tandem with SDCImport and RiANALYZE for an optimized workflow that maintains fast processing speed for mass data production.
For smooth processing of scan data acquired with RIEGL hydrography laser scanners, the airborne data processing software add-on RiHYDRO is offered as a supplement to RiPROCESS.
When processing bathymetric laser data, additional processing steps have to be applied since both the laser beam’s refraction at the air-water interface and the lower propagation speed within the water column must be taken into account in order to obtain a geometrically correct point cloud. Those specific processing steps - usually called "refraction correction" - have to be carried out for each flight strip right after the standard ALS processing workflow.
Refraction correction of the points below the air-water interface (i.e. ...
The airborne laser scanners RIEGL LMS-Q560i and LMS-Q680 digitize the waveform capability of the echo signal for every emitted laser pulse.
RiANALYZE applies the so-called Full Waveform Analysis to the digitized echo signals provided by the laser scanner and additionally transforms the geometry data (i.e., range and scan angle) into Cartesian coordinates. Thus, RiANALYZE converts the digitized echo signal data to data compatible with conventional airborne laser data processing packages for further processing.
The output is a point cloud in the well-defined Scanner's Own Coordinate System (SOCS) with additional descriptors for every point, e.g., a precise time stamp, the echo signal intensity, the echo pulse width, a ...
Airborne and mobile laser scanning systems provide data acquired by the laser scanner(s) and data from an INS/GNSS system. The laser scanner data is frequently referred to as scan data, whereas the INS/GNSS data or position and orientation data is called in short trajectory data after post-processing.
RiWORLD transforms the scan data into the coordinate system of the trajectory, usually WGS84 (world geodetic system). It thus provides the acquired laser data of the object's surfaces within a geocentered coordinate system for further processing.
In order to transform the scan data with high accuracy, RiWORLD applies accurate geometrical system descriptions as input, i.e., the transformations from the scanner system to ...

The RIEGL scan database RiDB is a software package for a database driven workflow to provide RIEGL point clouds in AVEVA‘s PDMS software. In today‘s lifecycle management of processing facilities, point clouds have taken over a valuable role for as-built information, which can be used for modeling, clash detection and various other tasks.
To increase efficiency in the scan to model process, RIEGL provides a plug in for AVEVA PDMS to directly connect the RiDB to the PDMS user interface. The point clouds can be loaded straight into the active viewport of PDMS, to be used with any existing 3D model of the facility, or to act as a modeling reference.
