3D Laser Mapping to Revolutionise Building Surveys

3D Laser Mapping has launched a powerful solution that will revolutionise the production of highly accurate building floor plans. Combining the easy to use ZEB1 hand held laser mapping system with intuitive point cloud processing software, the end to end solution will allow users to scan and produce detailed floor plans in a matter of minutes. The combination of scanner and software is set to transform building surveys, delivering both operational and financial savings for survey companies and end clients. This announcement follows an agreement between UK based 3D Laser Mapping, worldwide distributors of the ZEB1 hand held mapper, and PointCab, a German software company specialising in the processing of laser scanned data.

“Zeb1和Pointcab的组合为建筑测量师创建了一个真正强大的解决方案，”Charlie Whyman，全球销售和营销经理，3D激光映射。“两者都很容易使用很少或没有训练，两者都是快速有效的，两者都得到了很好的支持。组合解决方案的试验表明，可以扫描多个房间设施，处理点云数据和产生的矢量模型，所有在不到20分钟内。“

Pointcab为激光扫描数据提供了一种快速且具有成本效益的解决方案。有希望在扫描需要扫描的时间内分析点云，它建立在Zeb1移动映射器的易用性上。Pointcab还提供易于使用的界面，允许初学者和专业人员来分析点云数据而不培训，并且很少支持。两者之间的工作流程是直接和无缝的，并且可以在一系列标准文件格式中输出模型。

行政主管弗兰克Torno PointCab广告ded, “The ZEB1 is ideally suited for building surveys as it is truly portable and can be operated in confined spaces and difficult to access areas. The seamless workflow of raw data into PointCab combined with the unmatchable speed of processing make the ZEB1 PointCab partnership unbeatable for a range of applications including building surveys.”

由CSIRO开发并由北斯岛商业化，Zeb1使用被称为同时定位和映射（SLAM）的机器人技术。Zeb1系统包括安装在简单弹簧机构上的轻质激光扫描仪，其随着操作者穿过环境而连续扫描。由于扫描仪松散地振荡围绕弹簧，因此它产生了将2D激光测量转换为3D视野的旋转。它自定位的能力使Zeb1非常适合在室内，地下和其他有覆盖环境中使用的Zeb1，其中使用GPS的传统解决方案不起作用。
