Compared to traditional manual measurement methods, which can be laborious and time-consuming, LIDAR laser scanning allows a massive amount of data to be captured in a short period of time. This means that a complete and detailed digital representation of a structure or environment can be obtained in much less time than it would take using conventional methods.
Additionally, the resulting point cloud is extremely accurate and provides a solid foundation for digital modeling and detailed documentation. This means that architects, engineers and designers can rely on the accuracy of the data captured to perform structural analysis, plan renovations and create virtual models with a high degree of fidelity to physical reality. In summary, the use of point clouds in the survey process offers a unique combination of accuracy, efficiency and quality that far exceeds traditional manual measurement methods.
