![]() ![]() In parallel, municipalities and councils generally have strengthened the requirements for development of residential and commercial properties. So now, using a terrestrial scanner is now a more than viable solution. As the form-factor of these scanners has progressively gotten smaller, battery technology has also progressed (enabling a full day's scanning), and registration algorithms (i.e., mathematical positioning of individual scans) have been logarithmically advancing. Using terrestrial scanners to undertake these surveys was seen as cumbersome, time consuming, and overkill. In my case, it was a residential property that has been earmarked for redevelopment and requires an extensive, detailed survey both external and internal to the residence.ĭetailed surveys (i.e., measured building surveys in some geos) have up until recently been undertaken using traditional survey total stations and traditional survey traversing techniques. It's not the size so much as the functionality - which I'll get to shortly, and the vast array of applications for which this scanner could be used. Having begun laser scanning almost fifteen years ago using a Leica ScanStation 2 powered by a generator and requiring the most powerful laptop of the time to control it, and working in the deep dark railway tunnels under Sydney, you could image my astonishment at the simplicity of the latest generation terrestrial scanner, the Leica BLK360. ![]() Brett recently filed this report with the Autodesk Reality Capture team that he titled: "Leica BLK360 Field Test - Residential Property." ![]() For those of you who have read the latest Autodesk book, THE FUTURE OF MAKING, Brett and Autodesk Technologist, Shaan Hurley are featured in the first chapter where they scanned bamboo structures at Green Village in Bali.
