Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), also known as High-Definition Scanning (HDS), is an advanced technology that captures precise, high-resolution spatial data. It offers exceptional accuracy, versatility, and flexibility, enabling rapid on-site data acquisition. TLS systems can capture millions of points per second, resulting in detailed 3D representations of environments and structures.
TLS works by emitting laser pulses from a ground-based device, mounted on a tripod. The system measures the time it takes for each pulse to reflect from its surroundings, allowing it to calculate exact distances to various points. This process generates a detailed “point cloud” that represents the scanned area.
The high-resolution data obtained through TLS creates accurate 3D representations of terrain, landscapes, buildings, and other structures. These models are valuable across multiple disciplines, including surveying, construction, archaeology, and environmental monitoring, as they provide comprehensive spatial information that supports analysis, planning, and decision-making processes.
TLS delivers precise measurements, making it ideal for projects requiring exact detail.
Rapid data collection reduces on-site time, expediting project timelines.
As a non-contact method, TLS is perfect for surveying sensitive or hazardous environments without causing disturbance.
The ability to capture data from a distance.
Sometimes TLS is the best tool for the job; capturing finer details of structures and ground features, offering much higher resolution data compared to aerial LiDAR. Additionally, TLS can be deployed in areas where aerial methods, such as drones or other aircraft, may face restrictions due to airspace limitations or dense vegetation cover.
Terrestrial Laser Scanning is great for projects requiring high precision and detailed data in smaller, focused areas. Don't be fooled though; high-definition scanners can have ranges extending to 270 meters (885 feet), with some advanced scanners reaching distances over 1 kilometer (3,280 feet)
Dense point clouds provide a complete and detailed view, capturing intricate details that traditional methods might miss. HDS has the ability to capture data exactly how it is.
Terrestrial Laser Scanning significantly enhances the efficiency and accuracy of various surveying tasks, including topographic surveys and ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys. By swiftly capturing detailed three-dimensional data of existing site conditions, TLS provides comprehensive and reliable documentation of property features, facilitating informed planning and decision-making processes
Enables fast and accurate capture of existing building conditions, aiding in better planning, design, and renovation processes. This data may be used as stand-alone information or be drafted into accurate floor plans and elevations.
Provides meticulous documentation of fire and explosion scenes, accident sites, and crime scenes, supporting accurate reconstructions that are crucial in legal proceedings and insurance claims.
Non-Invasive Data Collection; capture detailed measurements without physical contact, preserving the integrity of delicate structures.
