| In
addition to the above examples we have been involved
in other projects for which the laser scanner was
able to produce results that were difficult or impossible
by conventional methods. These
projects include a laser scan of the Famine Monument
in Dublin, a laser scan of a helicopter and the
survey of a floor for the purpose of checking
vertical tolerance at minimal spacing. Images
relating to these project are included here on
this page.
Other
applications of the laser scanner are in the law
enforcement and forensics environment; consider
the possibility of recording a car accident or
crime scene in 3 dimensions so that it could be
viewed in court. This sounds similar to presenting
photographs or videos in court, the advantage
of a laser scan is the ability to rotate the scene
and take accurate measurements directly from it.
The exact dimensions of the accident or scene
are recorded as a permanent record. |
