RiHYDRO Hydrography Laser Scanning Software

larger image

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.
