Laser scanning is a technology that uses a laser beam to create detailed, three-dimensional images of objects or environments. It is commonly used in surveying, engineering, archaeology, and other fields to capture precise measurements and create digital models of physical spaces. Laser scanning is often done using a handheld scanner or a stationary scanner mounted on a tripod. The technology has revolutionized the way data is collected and analyzed in various industries, allowing for more accurate and efficient documentation of physical structures and landscapes.
