In this article, we’re going to focus on one of the most popular scanning technologies used everywhere from construction and land surveying to forensics and heritage preservation – laser 3D scanning. We’ll see what types of scanners are referred to as “laser,” how each of them work, an...
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...

What is gamma ray imaging? What technology uses gamma rays? What is the principle of semiconductor lasers? Describe how X-rays are used as a medical and physics imaging technique. How is laser scanning technology used in surveying and construction?
Mines and quarries are difficult to access, and LiDAR is increasingly used for surveying, mapping and worker safety. LiDAR scans can also be used for volume measurements in quarries. Manufacturing LiDAR technology can be used to create 3D models of objects for use in manufacturing. It can also...
LiDAR technology is becoming increasingly prevalent in AEC. Tracking building projects and producing digital twins for Building Information Modeling (BIM). Plus mapping the built environment like buildings, road networks, or railways. Terrain Mapping Surveying tasks often require laser scans to collect 3D...
LiDAR (light detection and ranging), is a remote sensing technology that emits continuous laser pulses to calculate the position of objects in the surrounding environment.
The cardinal distinction in these two systems is mostly acknowledged through applications. The term LIDAR is used frequently in surveying and mapping. Attach a laser scanning LIDAR system to an aircraft or automobile, combine it with GPS or another orientation system, and you can map out large sw...
aLand laser scanning has been successfully used on open-cast mining sites and collieries. Scanner positions (scan positions) are defined while the surveying is planning. In this case the scanner is set up either on a tripod or a vehicle (mounted on a mobile platform). There is no need in...
During the last few decades, 3D scanning devices and 3D digital image generating technology has been developed to the point where they significantly reduce errors and time during data collection thus making them highly appropriate tools in the field of archaeology. With regards to surveying, terrestri...
