What is Laser Scanning (LiDAR)?

Laser scanning (Laser scanning) is a non-contact technology used to digitally capture the shape and dimensions of physical objects or environments. This technology creates 3D datasets called "point clouds" by taking millions of measurements per second.

How Does It Work?

Laser scanner devices (e.g., Leica RTC360) send laser beams while rotating around their axis. When these beams hit a surface and return, the device calculates the distance. Each measurement is recorded as a point with X, Y, and Z coordinates.

**Speed

** Capacity to capture 2 million points per second.

**Accuracy

** ±2mm tolerance.

**Visualization

** Color, photorealistic 3D data thanks to HDR cameras.

Use in the Construction Industry

The era of traditional tape measure surveying is ending. With laser scanning:

Error Margin is Eliminated: Details that the human eye might miss (wall curvatures, beam deflections) are measured with millimetric precision.

Time Savings: Survey work that would take weeks is reduced to a few days.

Safety: Hard-to-reach or hazardous areas can be scanned from a distance.

Conclusion

Laser scanning is not just a "measurement" tool; it is the first step in creating the digital twin of a structure. At EosProje, we manage this process with our state-of-the-art devices.
