Imagemaster - Imaging Software
Photogrammetry plus remote Imaging Station control
ImageMaster Software | Photogrammetry Hardware | Total Stations | Aerial Photography
ImageMaster combines the full power of Topcon's PI-3000 photogrammetry software that allows 3D models to be generated from stereo images acquired with a standard digital camera. Users equipped with Topcon's state of the art 9000IS imaging robotic total station can carry out remote operation of the IS through ImageMaster. Alternatively data collected in the field can be processed in the software. Control of the IS allowing full control of the IS from your PC over a WiFi network. Sit in the comfort of your vehicle or office whilst the IS deals with the elements.
ImageMaster can offer the following features:
- The capability to work with stereo-images from any standard digital camera
- Point measurement, polyline measurement, surface measurement
- TIN creation. Contour lines creation, cross section creation
- Distance calculation, area calculation, volume calculation
- Ortho-image creation
- Export of RGB point cloud data (analgous to laser scanner), VRML, dxf, TIN and ASCII
- Import and integrate with your model LIDAR or scanner point cloud data, CAD basemaps, orthophotos and GPS / Total station data
- Drawing plotting
- 3D model display and editing
- Direct interface with the IS via Wireless networking

ImageMaster Pro
This version of ImageMaster replaces Topcon's powerful PI-3000 photogrammetry software and has the added value of the capability to deal with your IS datagives full access to Topcon’s Capture Reality range and provides the tools to make Imaging effective in your workplace. Combine IS, 7000i and Digital camera with no limits, create 3d textured models or produce linework from stereopair photos. Draw elevations, compute volumes, create sections, measure areas; this software will meet most operators needs in a one-stop-shop.
ImageMaster STD
STD is a simplified version of ImageMaster Pro, for handling and processing IS scanning data. Assuming you have no need for measurement from stereopairs or working with the 7000i series then this is the version you need. The rest of Pro’s functionality is maintained in this version providing a very powerful software package for creating and editing models from the IS data
ImageMaster for IS
This is included with the Topcon Robotic 9000 series Imaging Station specifically for allowing remote control and preparation of scan data for export to 3rd party software. You can use the software to process Scan data collected on board the instrument or collect the data directly in the software via wifi connectivity*. Simple output to DXF or text delivers a working dataset for modelling in your software of choice.
