It is important to remember that 3D laser scans can only see what the naked eye can see — they cannot X-ray or see through anything! Generally, multiple scans are necessary to capture all the data required. These scans must be pre-a…
… with the software you currently have access to, and will it provide what you need for the project? Turner’s Software toolkit, as shown above, contains 15 different programs, with an estimated cost per annum of $11,500 per person for our four person team. Bear in mind that this cost does not repeat in full on an annual basis — programs like Lumion and T…
… that captures a physical object’s exact size and shape in the form of a digital 3D representation. There are three types of laser scanners: short range, mid-range, and long range. Short range scanners are typically less accurate than mid- to long-range scanners as they use laser triangulation rather than the pulse-based or time of flight method of medium to long range models. Laser scanners are based on the speed of light concept — if the length of time a laser takes to reach an object and reflect back to the sensor is known, then the distance of the object from the scanner can be calculated.
