<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved method for operating a laser scanning system. <P>SOLUTION: The laser scanning system can be used in a construction project to perform a field survey. An architect or engineer can use the field survey to create construction drawings. In addition, relevant points from the construction drawings can be identified at a construction site by the scanning system. Furthermore, earth moving equipment can be controlled using the same information. The laser scanning system can also be used to determine whether two parts can be mated to each other by scanning and comparing the parts that should be mated. The laser scanning system can further be used to determine whether an object can be moved through an opening in a structure by comparing scan points of the structure with scan points from the object. The laser scanning system can additionally be used to identify objects in the site to build databases that have relevant information about the objects, and to guide reproducing machines. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
