Rilievo laserscanning Montechiarugolo

Unlike the tools generally used for classic topographic surveys, the laser scanner allows to acquire much more information that can subsequently be used for different purposes, such as for the creation of interactive databases. The data is commonly processed in a CAD environment to create 2D plans and profiles and three-dimensional models. Furthermore, open source software and applications make it possible to manage the data obtained more easily and thanks to new technologies such as virtual reality viewers it is possible to interact directly through 3D models even without special computer knowledge.
