The technology and computing development are changing the course of our lives. Between access and sharing of information, the new generation of technologies strengthens social bonds and development, both personal and professional. The 3D reality capture is one of the advancements in the technological sphere that improves the quality of professional services and the progress…
The laser survey transforms the survey in terms of design, construction and visualization. Applications supported by laser scanning, such as Scan-to-BIM, require the point cloud data to be of sufficient quality in terms of accuracy or point density. Eliminating human errors on a project is essential to achieve quality results, reduce wait times and minimize…
Advances in point cloud recording and processing are rapidly expanding the applicable scenarios for using Reality Capture and 3D modeling. The state-of-the-art surveying tools distributed by CYDIS have reduced the time it takes to find the right information in a 3D dataset from 40% to 80%. While this reduces manual monitoring, it can also significantly…
Industrial maintenance and facility management require visibility. Older installations, in particular, find it difficult to centralize information. Documentation on machinery, piping, electrical equipment, and past renovations is often stored on dislocated pieces of paper. Sometimes this information is only stored in the memory of a few experienced employees. This can be very problematic for planning…
The positive impact of laser scanners and cloud solutions on construction Going digital. As migration to BIM (Building Information Modeling) is an essential part of planning, the value of 3D models for planning and execution cannot be underestimated. If you want to build these models using real data and compare outputs to planning, you need…
Virtual reality (VR) has become invaluable in the areas of digital entertainment, manufacturing, construction and collaborative workspaces. Virtual applications share something in common: all work with 3D modeling and their levels of detail and value are improved by the use of point clouds. So why is VR so important for point clouds and how does…
Point clouds created by laser scanners can store incredibly detailed information about a physical space. However, the generation of larger data will result in larger files which may be difficult to store and process. Large projects can have hundreds (if not thousands) of scans, sometimes creating datasets larger than one terabyte. This will strain computer…
Cloud solutions have changed the way companies approach their 3D survey projects. Huge advances in connectivity and bandwidth have combined with advances in surveying technology to provide robust solutions based on cloud platforms. Cloud computing brings a number of interesting possibilities to the world of Reality Capture. From field acquisition to accelerated recording of large…
Effective project management relies on leadership, communication and knowledge. Project managers must have a clear understanding of the processes and challenges in order to overcome obstacles and achieve the objectives set in a limited time frame. Ensuring that tasks are performed effectively requires the ability to communicate with rigorous precision. For projects that require…
With Cloud technologies, it is no longer a question of being able to quickly store and access the scanned data, it is a question of changing the way businesses work. The Cloud is not only a safe and reliable tool for surveyors. It is a force for change in the industry. Surveyors must understand the…
