Workflow Features
Engine provides a powerful workflow interface for processing a variety of data. Just find the function that you need to use and drag it into the workflow pane. You can add as many functions as you like, and chain them together so that one function uses the output of another function. You can save this workflow as a template for use on other data at a later time.
Automate and customize your workflow by using Engine’s Command Line feature, or add your own processing function using the Third Party module feature.
Engine also offers:
- An optional offline mode- no internet connection required.
- Automatic GPU identification.
- Third-party function calls.
- Command line calls.
- Create, save, and load workflows.
- Offline use – optional.

Image-Point Cloud Data Aligner (Optional)
We designed the advanced data aligner module to solve the problem of misalignment between the point cloud and images. If the collection system is not properly compensating for the relative rotation and offset between the camera and the laser sensor, then this sort of problem will come up. We often refer to the system offset error as the lever-arm error and refer to the systematic rotation error as boresight error.
The data aligner module assumes that the offset and rotation error are systematic errors.The aligner determines these errors and then compensates for them by correcting the image position and rotations.
The user selects at least five common points between the point cloud and the image and enters those into the module. The module then calculates the error and the correction factor. The user can correct the loaded data set and can also save the correction factor for use in other data sets.
Custom Development and Deep Learning Support
We can adapt Engine to solve a particular problem that you have. Whether you need a specific tool in your workflow, a custom feature or something to meet your stakeholders needs, we are here for you. Our team of geospatial developers and subject matter experts build industry leading technology that meets the needs of many, but we understand that you might have a specific need or requirement to meet your needs. With our in-house deep learning expertise, our team can help you assess your data, develop training data, and then train your model.
