Introducing ROCK Desktop
Process raw data, visualize and compress point clouds, fine‑tune calibration, and push to ROCK Cloud — faster.
In the Field or in the Office
Process RAW data from ROCK LiDAR systems, visualize large datasets immediately, and compose area, FOV, and range with confidence.
Visualize & Compress
Free point cloud viewer and converter. Compress LAS to LAZ up to 10× smaller for dramatically faster uploads and easier sharing.
Fine‑Tune & Control Your Data
Simple camera and LiDAR calibration tools put you in control. Use only when needed to validate or tighten results.
From Desktop to ROCK Cloud
Upload to ROCK Cloud up to 10× faster, then manage, analyze, and deliver. One‑click transition from QC to client‑ready results.
Process RAW Data — Faster QC in the Field
Enhanced trajectory processing, instant QA, and clear visualization help you validate capture before leaving the site.
What You Can Do with ROCK Desktop
Pre‑process & Validate
Compose area, FOV and range, then quickly verify capture quality on‑site.
Convert & Optimize
Convert LAS↔LAZ and compress files up to 10× to speed up sharing and uploads.
Trust Your Accuracy
Optional camera/LiDAR calibration tools give you confidence in mission‑critical work.
Share Demos Instantly
Use compressed files for quick reviews and client presentations on any machine.
1‑Click to ROCK Cloud
Push to the cloud for alignment, analysis, deliverables, and client sharing.
Work Offline
No internet required to preview and validate field data when you’re on site.

ROCK PPK & SLAM Processing
Survey‑grade PPK for ROCK LiDAR
We use a proprietary algorithm to combine GNSS, base station, IMU, LiDAR, and photos to produce highly accurate point clouds for ROCK LiDARs like the R3 Pro V2, R3, and ROCK Ultra — all through ROCK Desktop.
- Reliable, repeatable accuracy optimized for ROCK sensors
- Streamlined workflow from field capture to ROCK Cloud

ROCK SLAM with GNSS Assist
Process SLAM missions in ROCK Desktop. GNSS integration mitigates drift, and manual tie points help lock alignment for long indoor/outdoor runs.
- GNSS‑assisted SLAM to reduce drift
- Manual tie points for robust alignment
- Automatically create photosphere walkthroughs in ROCK Cloud
