XGRIDS has announced the release their newest version of LixelStudio for their line of LixelKity K1 and L2 SLAM Scanners.


New Features:

  • Plane Draw: Point cloud drawing, it supports common CAD drawing operations and features intelligent extraction capabilities to assist users in extracting vectors from point clouds.
  • Activation Code Transfer: Provides license unbinding and transfer functionality for software that has been activated online.
  • Scale: Added scale display in the viewport.
  • Activation Code Expiration Notification: Added activation code expiration notifications to help users anticipate expiration dates in advance.
  • LCC Viewer: Supports importing 3DGS data in .lcc format, enabling smooth model browsing during the viewing process.
  • Ilas format support: Supports exporting internally processed point cloud data to the .ilas format.

Optimized Features:

  • Point Cloud Mapping: Optimized the algorithm to generate outdoor building point clouds, particularly for high-rise sections, achieving ground-level thickness results.
  • Map Fusion: Resolves the issue of map fusion failing in open tunnel environments. Enhanced Error Codes: Optimized map fusion error codes for more intuitive reporting.
  • Point Cloud Filtering: Comprehensive optimization of filtering algorithms significantly reduces point cloud noise while preserving overall image quality and detail fidelity.
  • Coordinate Transformation: Supports RTCM format.
  • Mesh Modeling Improvements: Further optimization of the mesh modeling algorithm to enhance stability and model quality.
  • LAS to E57 Conversion: Merges LAS format point cloud data with panoramic photos captured synchronously along the acquisition path, converting it into an unstructured E57 standard format file compatible with “BubbleView.”
  • Resampling Function Improvements: Resolves a bug in point cloud resampling that could erroneously delete certain edge points.
  • Dynamic Object Removal: Added dynamic object removal for vehicle-mounted scenarios.
  • Cloud Map Overlay: Added floor slicing processing. Sliced data can be displayed by floor, enabling focused analysis of specific levels for enhanced visualization.
  • Profile View Improvements: Supports profile views from any angle.

 


Important note before updating:

LixelStudio 3.5 only supports data from L2 Pro and K1 devices running firmware v2.4.1 or later. If you still need to work on some scans made with a prior version of the firmware, please be sure to keep an older software version available.

To upgrade the firmware on your scanner, please follow the instructions in the following link for the K1: https://xgrids.com/intl/support/faq?page=K1, and this one for the L2Pro: https://xgrids.com/intl/support/faq?page=L2Pro.

As always, if you have any questions, please contact our support team or leave a comment below.
