From raw XGRIDS capture to panoramas and point clouds: fast, without heavy hardware and without depending on a single vendor. Test with your own data.
XGRIDS data processing means turning the raw capture of an XGRIDS scanner (LiDAR, imagery and positioning data) into usable end products. The manufacturer supplies its own desktop software for this, such as LixelStudio for point clouds and LCC Studio for photorealistic 3D Gaussian Splatting. GEORIZON is the independent alternative: you upload the raw XGRIDS data, processing runs automatically in the cloud and you get the result back in the same environment.
What GEORIZON delivers for XGRIDS today:
GEORIZON processes the raw data of all current and earlier XGRIDS systems. For every device the result is the same: panoramas and point clouds in the viewer, via API and as a download. 3D Gaussian Splatting is coming soon.
| Device | Positioning | Result in GEORIZON |
|---|---|---|
| XGRIDS Lixel L3 | Flagship for high accuracy, successor to the L2 Pro | Panoramas and point clouds |
| XGRIDS Lixel L2 Pro | Earlier high-end scanner, succeeded by the L3 | Panoramas and point clouds |
| XGRIDS Lixel K2 | Lightweight, ready-to-go scanner, successor to the K1 | Panoramas and point clouds |
| XGRIDS Lixel K1 | Earlier lightweight scanner, succeeded by the K2 | Panoramas and point clouds |
| XGRIDS PortalCam | Spatial camera focused on 3D Gaussian Splatting | Panoramas and point clouds, 3DGS coming soon |

The manufacturer’s software runs locally and needs a powerful computer. GEORIZON moves that load to the cloud, so neither your scanner nor your colleagues have to wait for a processing run.
| Locally with manufacturer software | With GEORIZON | |
|---|---|---|
| Computer | Powerful Windows PC with an NVIDIA RTX graphics card (Laserscanning Europe recommends, among other things, an RTX 3070 and 64 GB of RAM) | A browser and an internet connection |
| Capacity | Your PC is tied up during processing | Cloud capacity that grows with your projects |
| Cost | Hardware and licences up front | Pay for the processing you use |
| Vendor | Tied to one manufacturer | Also for other scanners and cameras, in one environment |
GEORIZON supports any camera type and any scanner, with a ready-made ingest template per device. For XGRIDS you do not have to build anything, and if you later work with other equipment, everything stays in the same environment and the same viewer. Also see the processing for Leica Pegasus, Trimble MX, NavVis, RIEGL, Z+F and DJI, or the data processing overview.
The quickest way to judge whether GEORIZON fits your workflow is your own data. Request a demo account, upload an XGRIDS project and view the panoramas and point clouds in the viewer. If you already have an account you can upload straight away. You can create an account via sign up for an account.
LixelStudio and LCC Studio are the XGRIDS desktop software, for point clouds and for photorealistic Gaussian splats respectively. GEORIZON is an independent cloud environment that processes and publishes raw XGRIDS data, without any local computing on your side.
Yes. You upload the raw XGRIDS data and GEORIZON takes care of the processing.
Panoramas and point clouds, to view in the viewer, via API and as a download.
It is coming soon. Let us know through the form if it matters for your project.
The Lixel K1, L2 Pro, K2 and L3 and the PortalCam. For all of these devices you upload the raw data and get panoramas and point clouds back. 3D Gaussian Splatting is coming soon.
Not for processing in GEORIZON. It runs in the cloud and you only need a browser to view the result.
With the GEORIZON web uploader, straight in your browser and without extra software.
Yes, your original files are always kept.
Yes. Within the same environment you can combine XGRIDS data with drone imagery, aerial photos, other point clouds, vector data and historical datasets.
