Laser scanning for as-built documentation and planning for subsequent reconstruction work

Scope

"ARBE – Arbeit und Beschäftigung für psychisch Belastete" (community offering employment and care for mentally strained people) as initiator of the project placed an order for surveying and digitalization of the buildings by means of laser scanning in order to use as-built documentation for future reconstruction work. The ageing buildings are used as facility for care of psychic burdened people.

Accuracy classes of laser scanner data

Our service department offers you the analysis of laser scanner data in different accuracy classes. Accuracy classes depend on the kind of further use of data; they are defined by the customer. As decision support, we provide a brief overview of analysis options for 2D data in respect of scanning data. Deviations can certainly be set anytime; they are implemented during processing.

Benefit of airbag vests for motorcyclists

Airbag vests for motorcyclists have existed for several years. That means in case of emergency, a mechanic or electronic sensor triggers a gas cartridge that charges the vest with lightning speed. Thus, the rider is protected manyfold by the vest, e.g. against the bounce; moreover, the vest secures the helmet.

In this user report, we discuss how to convert point clouds from FARO Scene to an Autodesk RECAP project *.rcp so that you can import these point clouds in AutoCAD.

There are three different ways to transfer data processed in FARO Scene into an Autodesk RECAP project.

Register point clouds using laser scanning reference spheres

In this user story, we want to find out the distance between scanner and reference spheres allowing spheres to be registered still well in FARO Scene software. Simply put: At what distance may I position my targets so that I can use them for scan registration.

Improvements of FARO Focus S 150 bzw. S 350

FARO Focus S 150 and FARO Focus S 350 are a further development of FARO's X series.

Significant product improvements have been made in the scanner's scanning accuracy and IP rating.

Combine laser scan data with color information

Colored point clouds become more and more important. Leading manufacturers of scanners have responded to this tendency: They offer their scanner models with an integrated camera to create high-definition images simultaneously.
