Leica BLK360 Imaging Laser Scanner The smallest and lightest imaging laser scanner available There are several reasons. One is that the laser is completely objective about what will get measured at a scene.  Everything within its field of view (line of sight) will be measured and nothing will be overlooked.  If the scanner can “see” it, it will get measured in vivid 3D.  The resulting point cloud can be used to create animated “fly-throughs” of the scene showing who could see what from where.   When using pocket tapes or other manual measurement methods the crime scene technician(s) will make many individual measurements to what they think is important  at the time .  As the investigation progresses, different elements within the scene may take on greater importance.  Those elements may or may not have been measured manually when the scene was documented.  Leica laser scanning provides a way to “go back” to the scene exactly...

3D Laser Scanning of Donnells Dam 3D laser Scanning has become an excellent alternative to conventional surveying methods where there is an increased demand to capture topographic details quickly and safely; examples include under construction tunnels, highways, bridges, or railway lines. 3D laser scanning is an excellent tool for surveying tunnels (Hydro/rail/road etc), for applications such as design to as-built comparison of profiles, calculation of undercut & overcut, volume of concreting done post construction, checking of tunnel alignment etc. 3D laser scanning can be used efficiently for scanning proposed roads in hilly terrains which are normally inaccessible and can’t be surveyed with a total station due to high vegetation.. Donnells Dam is a concrete arch dam located on the Middle Fork of the Stanislaus River in Tuolumne County, California. The water impounded by the 291-foot (89 m) high dam forms Donnell La...

Shotam INSTRUMENTS SCAN REGAL THEATRE WITH GEOSLAM’s ZEB-REVO... SHOTAM INSTRUMENTS AND GEOSLAM FOR COMPLETE 3D SCANNING SOLUTIONS.     Regal Theatre is the oldest cinema in Connaught Place Area constructed by the architect Walter Sykes George. The theatre opened in 1935. In line with the current trends the theatre is getting renovated into a multiplex. For preservation/records the team of Mrs. Smita Mukhija (Avesana Architects) needed the exact 3D replica of the existing theatre. This could be done by scanning the whole theatre and then importing the point cloud image in specifically designed post processing software. This job was done by Shotam Instruments Private Limited (SIPL) by scanning that original structure with Geoslam’s Zeb-REVO 3D laser scanner. Shotam Instruments Pvt. Ltd. (SIPL) is a Delhi based firm incorporated in year 1999 (a subsidiary of P.S. BEDI Group). The firm was established with a vision to be the premiere service pro...

SmartPlanes AB Freya System- Unmanned Aircraft Systems for Aerial Surveying and Mapping SmartPlanes provide commercial unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), for aerial surveying, remote sensing and surveillance, equipped with high-resolution cameras or other sensors that form an easy-to-use and efficient tool for aerial surveying. Our core products are widely used in prospecting, mine planning, environmental monitoring, and volume measurement of open-pit mines, construction sites, quarries, and dump sites, etc. SmartPlanes aerial mapping and surveying system The unmanned aircraft flies automatically over pre-defined areas of interest and takes photos on a regular grid. The resulting high-resolution photos are processed to produce orthophotos and terrain or surface models (DTM/DSM), with very high-accuracy; typically a vertical accuracy of 25mm or better. Customers will benefit from robustness, cost efficiency, flexibility, ease-of-use, and up-to-date / real-time i...

I found many of these questions & queries on a regular basis from people like geological exploration, mine planner's, mine designer's, mine consultant's, mining university's & many more. I thought it was a time to look into some of them & provide best answer's as possible as we can. In some cases, these answers are based on our own research & our reputed clients in the industry. Few of them, are based on Carlson reputed distributor's, dealer's, technical expert's & Carlson representative's from different countries.. Q-1)  Carlson Software uses basic AutoCAD entities instead of “intelligent objects”, it does not have 3D or dynamic abilities. Carlson Software uses basic AutoCAD entities so that all drawings produced by their programs can be easily shared with any other DWG- or DXF-compatible program, regardless of version. Carlson has figured out a way to have the dynamic reactions work on basic entities such as lin...
