3D Laser scanning is a very powerful 3D imaging tool. Laser scanning has the advantage of full 3D capture of the desired area in X, Y, Z coordinates without physical contact. The scanner emits a laser beam and produces a 360-degree scan image with millions of 3D points forming a point cloud.
The speed of acquisition and the sheer density of points enable very detailed 3D mapping of complex objects and landscapes. Once point clouds are captured, 3D BIM modeling and meshing can be performed or extracted from the cloud.
