CHC Navigation introduces cloud-based 3D data platform

  • Rating12345

CoCloud, the new cloud-native platform for 3D data processing, management and collaborative analysis from CHC Navigation (CHCNAV), offers robust tools for handling multi-source 3D data. This comprehensive solution facilitates streamlined workflows from data acquisition to deliverable creation, without requiring investment in local hardware. 

The platform features an advanced photogrammetry engine that efficiently processes multi-source data including aerial imagery and Lidar scans. CoCloud generates high-quality digital orthophotos, point clouds and OSGB models with professional-grade precision.  

Fostering teamwork 

Designed to foster teamwork, CoCloud provides tools for online data visualization, data sharing and real-time collaboration on tasks like volume calculations and point cloud editing. Its intuitive, user-friendly interface makes sophisticated 3D data operations accessible without extensive specialized training, supporting efficient project execution. The platform supports various data formats and offers functionalities like dataset and timeline management. 

“CoCloud represents a significant advancement in how professionals handle 3D spatial data. By moving complex processing operations to the cloud, we’ve created a solution that not only reduces hardware requirements but also streamlines workflows and enhances team collaboration across multiple projects and locations,” commented Simon Wu, director of geospatial software at CHC Navigation. 

Data collection and storage 

CoCloud is built for adaptability, offering API access and private deployment options. This flexibility allows for integration into existing client systems and supports customized workflows, from initial data collection through to final application delivery. As a result, organizations can tailor the platform to their specific operational requirements. 

CHCNAV’s distributed data centre infrastructure in Germany and Ireland enables localized storage and processing of user data. Both facilities strictly comply with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ensuring full lifecycle compliance from data collection and transmission to storage.
