3D Laser Scanning
3D Laser Scanning is a geospatial technology that uses LIDAR (light detection and ranging) to measure the geometry and location of physical locations. Each laser scan emits millions of measurement points, and collectively these points create a ‘point cloud’ of raw geospatial coordinates. The result is a highly accurate digitized replica, or Digital Twin of your facility, building, or site. The precise detail of these points means that you can accurately measure the dimensions and location of physical objects and structures efficiently and accurately, enabling the support of a wide range of design, engineering, and operational applications.
