| Laser Scanning
is the ideal method for collecting large amounts
of data on buildings, especially in the case of
complex or detailed buildings, or where a number
of buildings are to be surveyed in high detail in
one location. In effect the laser scanner measures
the position of the building at numerous locations
and a typical building survey would have several
million measured data points. An
example is the Clarence Hotel on the Quays in
Dublin, Ireland. The hotel is owned by U2 and
this building is a well known landmark. Our survey
was used for 3 dimensional modelling for the purpose
of upgrade and redevelopment of the site.
The second example included
here is a typical street scene where redevelopment
of the street may be undertaken in the future
and designers are looking for visual as well as
spatial data. An example of this application is
where architects are designing walkways or seating
areas, or in the case where construction is going
to affect one or more existing buildings. |
