Project Summary

Scopic is the long-term development partner for Frontier Automation, delivering C++ real-time 3D image processing, 3D scientific visualization, and 3D database recording/playback capabilities. They developed a bulk-carrier vessel tracking application integrating an array of 36 3D LiDAR sensors and custom C++ processing (with CUDA/OpenCL) to meet real-time requirements. The team communicates via JIRA with regular weekly meetings between northern European developers and the Australian project team and has provided reliable, experienced C++ resources.

Key Challenges

  • Implement real-time C++ 3D image processing
  • Provide 3D scientific visualization
  • Build 3D historic database recording and playback

Project Deliverables

  • Bulk carrier vessel tracking application
  • Custom C++ 3D image processing software
  • Integration with an array of 36 x 3D LiDAR sensors covering two kilometers of wharf length
  • 3D scientific visualization and historic database recording and playback

Project Solution

Scopic's long-term team worked with Frontier Automation and internal developers to build a bulk-carrier vessel tracking application using an array of 36 3D LiDAR sensors spanning two kilometers of wharf. They implemented custom real-time 3D image processing software in C++, leveraging CUDA and OpenCL to meet performance requirements. Scopic provided full-time senior developers and supplemental resources for project management, database development, and user interfaces; communications were managed via JIRA with regular weekly meetings.

Project Outcome

  • Delivered design requirements with minimal bugs or rework
  • Achieved outstanding real-time 3D image processing results
  • Established regular JIRA-based communications and weekly meetings between teams
  • Secured a long-term partnership backed by experienced C++ developers
