The Steps Involved In Getting a 3D Laser Scan Done
Requirement Document
The first step is to provide the service provider with a requirement document that states the specific needs of the project, including the expected level of detail and output. This document will also include any information modelling requirements that need to be met. Once the service provider has a clear understanding of the project requirements, they can begin to create a 3D model.
Level of Detail
The level of detail in a 3D laser scan can vary depending on the needs of the project. For example, if the goal is to capture an accurate representation of a building, then a high-resolution scan will be necessary. On the other hand, if the goal is simply to identify potential problems with the structure, then a lower-resolution scan may be sufficient.
Expected Output
The expected output from a 3D laser scan can also vary depending on the project requirements. In some cases, a 2D map or drawing may be all that is needed. In other cases, a more detailed 3D model may be required. Regardless of the specific output requirements, it is important to communicate these expectations to the service provider before the scan is performed.
One-time or Recurring Job
Finally, it is important to determine whether the 3D laser scan is a one-time job or if it will need to be performed on an ongoing basis. This will impact the overall cost of the project and should be taken into consideration when budgeting for the job.
What Goes Wrong Usually
Most of the time when a client is looking for an as-built survey, they start comparing the LIDAR with traditional surveying which does not give a full picture of the situation, the points captured during the traditional survey are not continuous and always there are gaps in between, but whereas in HDS lidar scanning the complete 360 degrees of the area will be captured and even panoramic images can be extracted. The efforts and the output of these two methods are completely different and reflect on the timeline and cost associated with them. At Desapex we aim to provide this solution at a very affordable price and make sure your end objectives are satisfied.
