## History

[edit]

The technology behind Reconstructor has been initially born through a technology transfer agreement between the Joint Research Centre and Gexcel in 2007, to introduce the lidar technology for international nuclear plants monitoring into the market. Nowadays the software is completely built in-house by Gexcel. Initially called JRC3DReconstructor, it is constantly growing to adapt the structure, functionalities and tools to the surveyors' needs. From 2019 release become Reconstructor and introduced a new add-on structure.

The core software available with a perpetual licence of monthly temporary licence[4] allows to register, analyze, inspect, measure and share data. Then you can add a set of commands to detect specific industries like Land and Quarry (Mining add-on), Cultural Heritage (Color add-on), Mobile mapping dataset (HERON add-on). The technology behind Reconstructor is also academically traceable, as it can be available with a special educational licence.
