Leica HxMap High-Performance Multisensor Workflow

The increased need for up-to-date geospatial information in many of the traditional applications as well as in emerging areas such as navigation or location-based apps requires a new approach to data processing: rapid updates over large areas in the shortest possible time. To be a true No 1, the world’s most efficient airborne sensors still rely on an efficient and fast data processing workflow.

By introducing HxMap, the unified high-performance multi-sensor workflow platform, Leica Geosystems offers exactly what the industry has been waiting for: a fast, intuitive and efficient post-processing platform, that allows you to produce all known data products within one single interface.

• Saving you time and costs
  You and your staff only need to be proficient in one simple user interface to produce any known airborne data product. Don’t waste time moving your data from one software to the other, but benefit from one end-to-end workflow.
• Unprecedented data throughput
  Take advantage of the industry’s fastest data throughput and process any amount of data more efficiently in one single post-processing interface.
• Easily adaptable to your needs
  Create your personal post-processing workflow with one flexible and modular platform that can be customised to your specific application needs by adding software licenses only once you need them.

The Leica HxMap common sensor post-processing platform offers the following modules to meet your needs:

• HxMap Enabler: Enabler
• HxMap Provider: Ingest, Raw QC, Workflow Manager, Point Cloud Generator, Projection Engine
• HxMap Core Image: APM, Aerial Triangulation, Infocloud, Ortho Generator
• HxMap Core LiDAR: AutoCalibration, Registration, Colour Encoding, Data Metrics, LiDAR QC
• HxMap 3D Modeller: City Modeller, Texture Mapper, 3D Editor, Building Finder

How does HxMap work?
Leica HxMap intuitively guides you along a common processing workflow. Starting from data download, raw QC, data ingest all the way to the final product generation. Depending on the input data, additional steps like aerial triangulation, radiometric adjustments and LiDAR point cloud registration are available.

Furthermore, the HxMap product generator allows a large number of products to be generated by the push of a button: referenced images, orthophotos, info clouds, point clouds as well as 3D city models.

These features build the right solution for large oblique projects, country-wide orthophoto or LiDAR mapping for small engineering projects alike.
