HDS Laser Scanning
Laser scanning offers an alternative to traditional survey techniques. A high speed laser scanner can capture data of complex surfaces and often inaccessible environments much quicker than other methods of surveying.
Once the site survey has been carried out, the need for a return visit is rarely necessary due to the completeness and density of the data capture.
Due to the speed of the data capture, the amount of time spent on site is massively reduced, yet the information collected is far superior to that of traditional techniques.
The laser scanner produces a 'point cloud' from each individual scan which can then be pieced together to produce a full 3D model of the scanned object. This complete point cloud can then be traced around to produce accurate and very detailed 2D drawings.
See how it works at:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NxCfYkPYBI
The colours of the point cloud can be changed to highlight certain areas or features which may not be visible with the normal colours.
The Scanner can make light work cof complex and complicated buildings
And can turn buildings like this.....
to this, in a matter of hours.
We then work with the cloud to produce the drawn 2D elevations you are familiar with.
So, if you are interested in laser scanning, or have a project where you think it might benefit from the use of a laser scanner, then please contact us and we would be happy to advise you on the best way forward.
