Quick Terrain Modeler Analysis Capabilities |
|
Simulate terrain flooding in real time. Draw a contour line around water perimeter. Export flood contour as a shape file or a DXF polyline. |
|
Color terrain by user-selected steepness (i.e., highlight steep or flat terrain). Use slope filter to further refine slope analysis by filtering on area or slope banding. |
|
Compares two DEM's and highlights changes in the terrain. QT Modeler has two types of change detection - binary and continuous color. Binary shows whether the terrain has changed or not, based on a user defined change in elevation threshold. Continuous color shows a severity of change (e.g., impact of a hurricane on a coastline) in a continuous color map. Binary change detection can be enhanced with a change detection filter that filters changes based on volume or elevation change |
|
Calculate the volume of a specified area of the DEM as compared to another DEM or as compared to a reference plane. |
|
Visually defines a viewshed. The user places a marker in the terrain, sets viewer and target heights, and determines what terrain is visible from there as well as what areas of the terrain have visibility to the marker. This analysis can be compounded for multiple viewpoints. Due to export restrictions, available in US versions only. |
| Contour Lines |
Creates custom contour lines. Can export contour lines as shape files or as dxf polylines. |
| Shadow Map |
Create a shadow map of the terrain based on user defines lighting settings. |
Basic Mensuration |
Flexible tool for measuring terrain and analyzing complex cross sections by placing a simple or compound mensuration line in the terrain. |
| Point Cloud Mensuration |
Measure distances between two specific points in a point cloud. |
Area Interrogation |
Query the attributes (e.g., min/max X,Y and Z, number of points, etc.) of a subsection of the DEM. |
Cross Section Export |
Export sampled cross sections as an ASCII text file. Can be imported into other applications for analysis. |
|
Generate multiple parallel cross sections to compare and/or export. |
| Outline Generation |
Generates an outline of the survey. Outline can then be saved and exported as a shape file to GIS. This is an excellent way to assess survey coverage. |
| Shape File Support |
Import shape files to be used as mensuration lines. Save mensuration lines as shape files to be exported to GIS. |
