3.4 Scan 

Laser  scanners  can  quickly and accurately  obtain 3-dimensional data  of  objects  scanned. Laser  scanners  are 
featured in non-contact measurement, high data sampling rate, active emission of scanning lights and strong 
environmental adaptability. These devices can be used in the complex environments and spaces for scanning, 
and directly and completely acquire the 3D data of physical objects with various sizes. Then the scanners can 
quickly reconstruct the 3D model of the 

projects

 as well as various geometric data concerning the points, lines, 

surfaces, and solids. 3D data of the objects’ surfaces are obtained in form of point clouds

, which is convenient 

for multiple subsequent processes. 
For the first scan, operate by following the procedures below.
