Correvate was formed to commercialise a technology that enables the automatic alignment and subsequent analysis of 3D point cloud datasets. The technology was initially created in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at University College London and then, on 1st January 2018, exclusively licensed to Correvate. It has since beenenhanced by both Correvate and UCL into the Vercator® product suite www.vercator.com Vercator software provides fast, robust point cloud processing to enable automated 3D understanding of the environment.The technology can be applied to 3D point cloud datasets created using any scanning technology of any wavelength. Correvate’s first market sector is in construction – where professionals such as surveyors, architects and construction engineers create a ‘digital twin’ of the target project, yielding improvements in productivity well-recognised both by the professionals themselves and by the grant-giving teams in the UK’s Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
