Abstract

Applications for large-volume laser scanning projects are increasing each and every day. The ability to capture large amounts of spatial data of the surrounding territory is quickly becoming a standard project deliverable across a variety of industries. Between the affordability of the equipment, the relatively fast learning curve, and straightforward post-processing software, companies are recognizing and capitalizing on this exciting technology. This article will dive into the uses of large-volume laser scanning both from my personal experiences and those of others. In addition, a terrestrial laser scanning strategy guide will be discussed, detailing the ever-changing advancements being made to laser scanners and their operation. These changes make it pivotal for laser scanner operators to understand and familiarize themselves with the technology. In such a competitive industry, success will ultimately come down to understanding the laser scanning market and making well-educated decisions when trying to advance your large-volume laser scanning business.
