Laser Scanning is a powerful 3D imaging tool for surveyors. It has the advantage of full 3D capture of a desired area in x, y and Z coordinates without any physical contact. These scanners emit a laser beam that produces a 360-degree image scan with millions of points forming a point cloud. The speed of scanning and the density of points enables the most detailed 3D mapping of complex objects and landscapes. After the point clouds are captured, 3D modelling with meshing can be performed and extracted from the cloud.
