Handheld laser scannng picks up

Editorial Type: News     Date: 03-2014    Views: 2604   




ZEB1, described as the world's first truly mobile, handheld, rapid laser mapping system has been used to document one of the largest heritage buildings in Budapest

Operated by Hungarian engineering company Burken the ZEB1 was used in conjunction with traditional terrestrial laser scanners to create architectural documentation of National Institution of Mental Health and Neurology.

Covering more than 40,000 square metres of indoor space in grounds of 40.6 hectares Burken had just over one month to complete the entire project from start to finish on behalf of property management company Kiving Kft.

Even with more than 10 years' experience of reverse engineering projects the challenge of documenting one of the capital's largest heritage buildings in just 32 days was daunting," commented Lajos Kandra, Owner and Managing Director, Burken Ltd. "We had just a few days to scan an indoor area of around 40,000 square metres comprising of over 2000 individual rooms with many physical obstacles in addition to the outside façade and woodland."

"While our terrestrial Riegl laser scanners were perfect for outdoors scanning of the woods and building facades, and even some of the larger indoor rooms, ZEB1 proved easier to use for scanning indoors. Capturing data using the ZEB1 is also fast as the device requires no set up and scanning can be completed at a normal walking pace."
