Infrastructure

Complex structures in the field of civil engineering such as bridges and tunnels are measured with a lot of detail with 3D laser scanning.

For infrastructure projects 3D laser scanning is also used for the creation of digital terrain models (DTM) and topographical measurements.

For surveys of longer trajectories such as roads or railways mobile scanning is more often used than static scanning. In mobile scanning, also called mobile mapping, the data is obtained using scanners and cameras on a vehicle. More information about mobile mapping can be found at www.mobile-mapping.be.
