POINT CLOUD SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

A system and method for generating a database representative of a physical structure having a plurality of components may include a computer, a memory in communication with the computer, and a laser scanner in communication with the computer. The laser scanner may be configured to capture spatial data representative of points on the structure, wherein each of the points is part of one of the plurality of components. The computer may be programmed with instructions executable by the computer for receiving the spatial data, storing the spatial data in a database in the memory, receiving non-spatial data representative of each of the plurality of components, and, for each of the points, associating a portion of the non-spatial data with each respective point in the database based on a respective one of the plurality of components of which each respective point is a part. The data may include color data.
