Ideal for 3D site design, stockpile volumes calculations, mine surveying. Quantity takeoffs, pad design, pond design, geological map, surface contouring and visualization, as well as landfill site design. This includes functions for surveying, coordinate geometry and image manipulation, digital terrain modeling and contouring, volume, earthwork calculations, design and grading, visualization, and report generation. You can create surface models using large UAV and LiDAR datasets. You have complete control over the point data thinning process. You can thin to polygons and corridors, coordinates areas, or exterior regions. Import and management a variety survey and file formats, such as total station, LiDAR and ASCII, DWG and DGN, USGS DEMs, LandXMl, and image formats (TIFF and BMP, JPG). The total station data can be imported with automatic control over linear features, breaklines, and symbology. Live Maps allows you to import georeferenced background imagery.

GeoThrust was designed with a workflow architecture in mind to produce an accurate earth model and image in time and depth from data that has been collected with irregular geometry in areas of complex topography, complex near surface, and complex subsurface. It is easy to learn and simple to use, with high technical specifications for data analysis. Nonlinear tomography is used to estimate the near-surface model. This accounts for topography and reduces vertical and lateral velocity variations. Wavefield dating is used to correct the near-surface model. This is essential for imaging from irregular topography. GeoThrust does subsurface velocity modeling, imaging, and estimation from topography. It is not based on a flat datum. Instead, it uses rms and interval speeds that are calculated at reflector positions and not at reflection positions.
