“A point cloud is essentially a huge collection of tiny individual points plotted in 3D space. It’s made up of a multitude of points captured using a 3D laser scanner. If you’re scanning a building, for example, each virtual point would represent a real point on the wall, window, stairway, metalwork or any surface the laser beam comes into contact with. “
A Point Cloud Model is a 3D Model that is created by scanning an object or scene with lasers. The lasers create points on the surface of the object or scene, and these points are then used to create a 3D representation of the object or scene. The accuracy of a Point Cloud Model depends on the quality of the scan. If the scan is of poor quality, the point+- cloud Model will also be of poor quality.
Reliable Accurate Geolocated Point Cloud Models
A reliable and accurate Point Cloud Model has many uses. It can be used to create a 3D Model of an object or scene for virtual reality or augmented reality applications. It can also be used to create a 3D Model for 3D printing. Additionally, it can be used to create 2D drawings or plans from a 3D Model.
Early Clash Detection Allows for Better Planning
One of the most important uses of an accurate Point Cloud Model is for early clash detection. When constructing a building, it is important to ensure that the proposed new structure will be a smooth and cohesive fit into the existing working as-built site conditions.
The proposed New Structure Can Be Drawn, Positioned, Compared, and Evaluated Against the Existing As-Built Site Conditions
An accurate Point Cloud Model of the existing as-built site conditions is necessary to compare and evaluate the proposed new structure. The proposed new structure can be evaluated to see if it will fit into the existing site conditions.
Ensuring Your Proposed New Design Will Be a Smooth and Cohesive Fit into the Existing Working As-Built Site Conditions
When you ensure that the Point Cloud Model you are working with is of the highest quality, you are in turn ensuring that your proposed new design will be a smooth and cohesive fit into the existing working as-built site conditions.
Accurate and Reliable Information Leads to Informed Decision-Making and Better Planning
The accuracy of the Point Cloud Model is essential for informed decision-making. If the Point Cloud Model is not accurate, the decisions that are made based on the Model will not be accurate. This could lead to construction delays, cost overruns, or even safety hazards.
