LineVision PLS-CADD is the only “vendor-independent” GPS video extension for PLS-CADD and the only one that is designed to support both aerial helicopter, UAV and ground-based visual inspections. LineVision PLS-CADD will allow you to click on a structure or specific point along your ROW asset corridor in PLS-CADD, and then easily review color (EO), Infrared (IR), corona (UV) video and oblique photos geographically associated with that point.

This easy-to-use software is the most "open" and versatile PLS-CADD geospatial video analysis extention available. Easily playback properly formatted geo-referenced video files from a variety of consumer video cameras, drones, gyro-stabilized video systems and specialized geospatial DVRs, including our own geoDVR hardware

Transmission line engineers can review and cue geotagged video by clicking structure in PLS-CADD using the LineVision extension.

  • Click on PLS-CADD Drawings to Playback Geo-referenced Video Files
  • Dual Camera HD & SD Video Viewing
  • Simple Import and Viewing of High-resolution Oblique Still Photos
  • Snap & Save Geo-tagged Photos from Video
  • Add local Raster Satellite/Aerial Imagery
  • And more…

How LineVision PLS-CADD Works

In addition to video, LineVision also supports oblique photo searching in PLS-CADD.

Users click on an area or strcuture in a PLS-CADD drawing to cue up an play geo-referenced video. As the video plays, a cursor moves along the GPS track on a map, constantly indicating where the current video view was captured. Simply click any point in the PLS-CADD drawing or along the map path to geographically “navigate the video” to that location. If something of interest is detected in the video, users may pause and “snap” a still image from the video, which is then geo-tagged.
