Point clouds are datasets that represent objects or space. These points represent the X, Y, and Z geometric coordinates of a single point on an underlying sampled surface.
Eg. Complex situations, large or distant objects and demanding terrains can be quickly measured.
The Building Information Modeling (BIM) is increasingly being imposed in the design of buildings. This evolution will inevitably lead to a large increase towards BIM models of existing buildings. Scan to BIM starts with 3D laser scanning. In the first phase, the building is scanned. A point cloud is then created from this scan data. This point cloud can then…
