As cities evolve, so does the need for advanced digital representations to support urban planning and development.

Capturing the essence of urban environments accurately demands a tool that can effortlessly navigate through the complex diversity of city elements. Adding to our range of existing specialized AI models, we introduce a new classifier for the automatic classification of Mobile Mapping City Scans.

Pointly’s new Standard Classifier for city inventories is engineered to meet these challenges head-on, transforming the way city objects are detected and classified.

Elevating Cityscape Digitization to New Heights

The urban landscape is a tapestry of various elements, from buildings and street furniture to trees and vehicles. Our Mobile Mapping Classifier is custom-designed to handle this complexity, offering an unparalleled solution for the segmentation and classification of urban point cloud data.

Here’s how you benefit:

Scalable Parallel Processing: Our classifier reduces what used to take days into just hours, thanks to parallel and scalable cloud processing.
Automated Object Classification: Using deep learning, our system distinguishes between urban surfaces and objects, improving digital twin projects.

Import into existing workflows (API, AWS S3 Bucket, Drag & Drop)

With the Pointly platform, you can call the classification of our Classifier via API, making it easy to import the classification process into existing workflows. For a complete automation during the process.

Your Own Digital Twin Project Made Easy with Pointly:

Enhance your Digital Twin Project with our new Classifier, which can serve as a baseline model for further custom developments. We can tailor a custom classifier for your specific project using technologies such as transfer learning, ensuring that we meet your goals quickly and efficiently.

Training Data & Requirements:

Our classifier has been trained iteratively on multiple datasets from Germany and Austria. It functions optimally with high-resolution mobile mapping scans.

Parts of the training data were derived from the city-wide open dataset provided by the City of Vienna.
