Do more with the this state-of-the-art GIS software solution by utilizing the Global Mapper Insight and Learning Engine®. The deep-learning image analysis tools in the Insight and Learning Engine provide built in models for land cover classification, building extraction, and vehicle detection. Utilize the fine-tuning and training tools to tailor the models to improve model performance on your own datasets. Configuration settings allow users to share custom models, and download the latest models from Blue Marble Geographics.

Create a 3D point cloud, orthoimage, and 3D mesh products from drone or UAV collected images utilizing Pixels to Points in Global Mapper Pro. The Pixels to Points Wizard allows users to select from predefined project types and optional outputs, or create their own. Leverage the ability to automatically place GCPs to further control output product accuracy.

Global Mapper Pro offers the opportunity to fully classify 3D point cloud data. Automatic ground, building, tree, powerline, and pole classification and feature extraction tools work with lidar or photogrammetrically-generated point cloud data. Utilize manual classification options for more precise control.

Lidar QC tools allow for the refinement of the 3D position of a point cloud, point clouds can be split into layers based on attribute, and automatic processing reports can be generated.

This tool allows users to identify features of interest in a point cloud based on certain parameters or attributes. Whether color, elevation, intensity, or another parameter is important in defining a feature, users can provide values to allow the tool to identify points which meet these requirements. The flexibility and customization in this tool, combined with a selection method to select and edit individual segments, greatly improves manual classification, to achieve custom point cloud classification in a semi-automated process.

Global Mapper Pro has an array of terrain analysis tools. From advanced binning and kriging methods to create a surface, to terrain painting to live edit the terrain users can prepare their data a variety of ways. The results of this process can be analysed via watershed modelling, viewshed analysis, contour generation or a slew of other tools available in Global Mapper and Global Mapper Pro

Custom Point Cloud Classification provides the ability to define custom classifications based on user-created training samples. Each training sample should represent a variation of a definable class of objects that can be used to create a new, user-trained point cloud classification. The attributes and shape of the sample points will be used to generate a signature that will be the basis of the new custom classification model.

Once finished, new classifications will appear in the Features to Classify list in the Classification tab to be used along with the built-in Feature Classes, such as Vegetation and Buildings. Custom classes can be saved for future use, or to share with colleagues.

Based on Python v3.10, Global Mapper users are now able to automate workflows in the program using the Python programming language. Not replacing Global Mapper Script, but adding to the scripting language options, Python scripts can be written in the new Script Editor or outside of Global Mapper, and run within the Global Mapper interface, via the command line, or in a Python environment.

The Script Builder tool transforms actions taken in the user interface into Global Mapper Script or Python commands with an easy-to-use record button. 

For manual script creation, editing and execution, the interactive Script Editor allows users to open multiple scripts in a tabbed interface and save them individually. Frequently used scripts can now be saved for easy execution in the Favorite Scripts manager.

The powerful Variography and Kriging analysis tool improves data prediction in Global Mapper Pro. Fully customize the data sampling and variogram plot and determine what theoretical model fits best for the generation of a kriged prediction layer.

Pairing with Global Mapper Pro is Global Mapper Mobile, an app available on iOS and Android for field data reference and collection. Wirelessly share data to a mobile device directly through Global Mapper desktop’s Mobile Data Management tool. Additionally, through this tool, Global Mapper Mobile Package files can be merged to combine datasets created by different field collectors.

Create 3D mesh products from a variety of terrain, point clouds, and 3D vector data. Volumetric mesh features can also be created as spheres and cylinders to more effectively model volume in a variety of workflows. Export these products to a variety of 3D formats to use in gaming engines, simulated environments, and more.
