Understanding LiDAR Technology in Scan to BIM
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology has become an essential tool for Scan to BIM services due to the construction industry's demand for accurate and effective data collection. LiDAR accurately depicts the built environment by measuring distances and constructing highly realistic three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions of existing structures using laser pulses. The article will go into depth on LiDAR technology, its usage in Scan to BIM, and how it is transforming the way we approach building documentation and design. What is LiDAR Light detection and ranging, or LiDAR for short, is a remote sensing technique that measures distances to Earth using light in the form of a pulsed laser. These light pulses provide exact, three-dimensional information on the Earth's structure and surface properties when paired with other data captured by the aerial system. Here's a breakdown of how LiDAR works: Laser Pulse Emission : Rapid laser pulses are emitted by LiDAR systems, and...
