Advantages of Terrestrial laser
Scanning
- Faster results
- Better quality results
- Less ambiguity - more
complete
- Higher level-of-detail
- Safer data capture
- Unobtrusive data
capture
- Point clouds can be
conveniently used & reviewed by others for more efficient
management of projects

Terrestrial laser
scanning, sometimes called High Definition Surveying provides
a scan comprising of thousands of points which are collected
in a matter of minutes. This point cloud can be used to
create detailed elevations, plans or sections. 3D models and
fly throughs can also be produced. As a non-contact or
'remote' instrument, site access may only be required once and
it may be possible to avoid hazardous
areas.

There are many
applications for terrestrial laser scanning, the above images show a
scanned building facade. On the right is the point cloud viewed in
AutoCad for production of conventional linework drawings.
Accuratemaps Survey owns a
Leica Scanstation 2, and have successfully completed a number of
laser scanning projects including laser scanning Lyme Regis beach
for shingle/sand recharge volumetric survey and sea defences. We
have also completed laser scanning projects for National Grid.
