How are lasers used in particle accelerators? How is laser scanning technology used in surveying and construction? How has the excimer laser developed over the years? What is the wavelength of a fiber laser? Who invented argon lasers?
In the last few decades, SLAM, (an acronym for simultaneous localization and mapping) has developed as a nexus of technologies that enable autonomous robotic mobile scanning of the indoor, outdoor and subterranean environment. What is SLAM?
Laser Scanning:This is a tool that’s particularly useful for site surveying,measuring measures millions of pointswithin a 360-degree space. This survey tool makes it possible to quickly and accurately measure the distance between two points, saving loads of time in the planning and prepping stag...

For anyone involved in the acquisition of geospatial data, SLAM is a significant game-changer due to its versatility. It complements other forms of 3D Lidar data capture, like terrestrial laser scanning, filling in the gaps for hard-to-reach areas. Go-anywhere mapping - simply walk through an...
Land Surveying and Topographic MappingModern airplanes, drones and helicopters use LiDAR sensors to capture geospatial data. This allows them to digitally recreate accurate terrain and elevation models, scanning thousands of acres in one flyover. LiDAR can pulse underwater too. The National Oceanic and...
Photogrammetry is the process of taking reliable measurements from photographs. It has been with us in some form for centuries and has helped shape our understanding of things like the Earth’s surface. Today, it plays a vital role in many industries. So

Another method used is Laser Scanning Technology. Automated analysis approaches of this technology can provide thermal imaging of a building in 3D CAD model surfaces. Thermal irregularities of thermal bridges and insulation leaks can be identified and measured using surface temperature data in 3D models...
Traditional surveying usually measures ground area rather than height or shape; LIDAR scanning captures very detailed shape and distance information but without color or material properties; and photogrammetry analyzes surfaces’ response to natural light from photographic data of an object or site, but ...
