Iris: Production-grade point cloud classification
AI-augmented classification that scales with your needs—no thresholds, no subcontractor relay race.
Legacy tools were built for gigabyte-era LiDAR
TerraScan macros and custom scripts choke on 100B+ points, need hand-tuned thresholds, and force tile-by-tile rework across subcontractors.
Result: you're trading speed, cost, and quality - scale one, the others crack.
Before Iris
- • 30-40 person classification teams
- • Weeks to classify large projects
- • Manual threshold tuning per tile
- • Inconsistent results across geographies
- • Expensive subcontractor relay race
After Iris
- • Lean QC-only team
- • Results in hours, not weeks
- • AI-augmented pipeline
- • Consistent across large areas
- • 90% cost reduction
