GPRS Provides Point Cloud and 3D Mesh of Trees

The client could not accurately capture the location, exact dimensions, and detail of the three trees. They needed laser scanning services to include the trees in the design plan. It was important to capture complete and quantitative existing conditions without damaging the tree trunks or limbs.

GPRS’ Texas office used a Leica ScanStation to capture the three trees and the surrounding area. Accurate 3D measurements were captured in a few hours on site in a fast and environmentally friendly manner. Laser scanners are non-contact, they scan from tripods on the ground up to 300 yards, keeping the environment untouched.

Highly detailed 3D laser scanning data can be converted into STL mesh files for import into CAD or surfacing software.

3D scanning services helped capture the trees with incredible detail, create a 3D mesh model, and allow the client to position it in software for their design plans.

GPRS incorporated the first and second mobilization into the same coordinate system which allowed the separate projects to be put on the same coordinates and relate the projects to one another even though they were captured at different times.

3D laser scanning delivered the client the accurate data they needed for the design model and was able to preserve the 100-year-old trees.

3D laser scanning invariant to lighting and shadow; as a result, significantly more data was acquired by laser scanning the tree, and much more accurately than hand measuring.

Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) captured the above-ground 3D tree architecture spatial data in a fast, efficient, and highly accurate way.
