Using Underwater Laser Scanning for High-Resolution 3D Point Cloud Surveys

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Underwater construction projects typically require the creation of high-resolution 3D models of existing infrastructure to retrofit equipment such as gates, valves, trashracks, or bulkheads.  Commercially available underwater laser scanning systems can be used to collect 3D point cloud data to facilitate project design.  Scanning laser systems can also collect survey-grade bathymetry and 3D point clouds of underwater features. Point cloud data can be used to develop 3D computer models to compute estimates of lengths, areas, or volumes.
