GEOREFERENCING

Georeferenced Terrain, Imagery & CAD Together

Georeferencing is what lets different datasets share the same real-world space. STREAM uses the embedded georeferencing of your data to place DEMs, orthophotos, point clouds and CAD drawings on the exact same ground — no manual alignment.

What is georeferencing?

Georeferencing ties a dataset to real-world coordinates so it lands in its true location on the earth. A georeferenced GeoTIFF or point cloud carries the position and coordinate system needed to place it precisely.

When every layer is georeferenced to the same system, they stack perfectly — the orthophoto sits on the DEM, and the CAD lines fall exactly where they belong.

Georeferencing Software in STREAM

Everything on the same ground

Load georeferenced DEMs, orthophotos, point clouds and DXF and STREAM aligns them automatically by their position and CRS.

Overlay and compare

Drape imagery on terrain and stack vectors on top, all in true position, to read and measure the site.

Live position readout

Read the real-world coordinates and elevation under the cursor anywhere on the terrain.

Reposition when needed

Nudge a layer's placement when a dataset needs a manual offset, without altering the source file.

Supported formats

GeoTIFF
Georeferenced DEM and orthophoto
LAS / LAZ
Georeferenced point cloud
DXF
CAD drawings placed in true position

Frequently asked questions

Does STREAM align data automatically?

Yes. STREAM uses the embedded georeferencing and CRS of each layer to place DEMs, orthophotos, point clouds and CAD on the same ground automatically.

Can I overlay imagery on the DEM?

Yes. Georeferenced orthophotos drape onto the terrain in true position, so you can read imagery and elevation together.

Can I manually offset a layer?

Yes. When a dataset needs a manual nudge, STREAM lets you reposition it in the scene without changing the source file.
