3D Laser Scanning
What is 3D Laser Scanning?
3D laser scanning is a process of collecting measurement data, just like traditional total stations it uses angles and distances collected by lasers but in a rapid and high density way.
The data is collectively known as pointclouds and the data can be interrogated and utilised to produce traditional 2D plans, 3D models and visualisations.
The advantages of 3D laser scanning are the density and speed of measurement data it can collect. It is especially used for the creation of detailed elevations, rights of light surveys, and 3D modelling.
At Aimcon Surveys Limited we have invested in 3D laser scanning choosing Leica as our preferred supplier.
Along with the survey equipment much investment has been made into the computer hardware and software that serves this measurement data.
We are also able to provide our clients with Leica Truview, it is possible for clients to download a plugin for Internet Explorer and connect to our servers to view and interrogate our pointcloud data without any knowledge and experience of 3D modelling or CAD. Please contact us for a demonstration.
