Webday Wednesday - Introduction to 3D Laser Scanning for Architecture

Introduction to 3D Laser Scanning for Architecture
Date: February 12, 2020
Presenter: James Hayes l Pinicpal l If Then Architecture

SESSION:

This session will introduce participants to the use of digital technologies for the purpose of documenting the built environment. Topics will include an overview of the three main technologies used in documenting buildings and the built environment: terrestrial laser scanning, close-range scanning, and photogrammetry. Further attention will be given to the strengths and weaknesses, potential deliverables that can be generated and real-world uses of each of the three technologies. Examples of how digital outputs from each of the three technologies can be utilized in software used in typical architectural practices.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the completion of this session, the participant/learner will know:

• The three main technologies used to document the built environment and their best use;
• The potential outputs that each of the technologies can generate and which software can make use of them;
• The deliverables that can be generated from the output data;
• The general knowledge to procure the services of a technology provider.

Continuing education learning hours: 1 credit
