Event: Hampton Roads SAME Post meeting presentation on “Three-Dimensional Laser Scanning Applications”

Presenter: Michael Stys, Director of Technology Solutions­­, Bowman Consulting

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand how 3D laser scanning’s speed of data capture reduces project time and cost.

2. Understand the method of remote acquisition and measurement which increases the efficiency and safety of surveys. 

3. Observe the comprehensive, high point density data captured in laser scanning that: a) reduces questionable data, b) provides oversampling to ensure accuracy, c) produces highly accurate data for all direct measurements, and d) ensures that all relevant objects, structures, geometry are captured in the scan.

4. Observe the calibrated high-resolution photographic imagery and 3-D models which provide added confidence that mapped objects correspond to actual existing conditions.

 
Scope: The purpose of the event is to bring engineers, architects, and environmental specialists for a professional presentation on 3-Dimensional Laser Scanning. The presentation will provide a broad overview and demonstration of terrestrial laser scanning which provides highly accurate, three-dimensional images.   These images enable designers to work directly with real-world conditions by viewing and manipulating point-clouds in computer software.  The laser scanner is able to record millions of 3D points. These measurements can be imported into CAD or 3D application software and displayed on a computer monitor as a "point cloud" which has photographic qualities portrayed in true color. Since all laser scan points are 3D, the files can be viewed, navigated, measured and analyzed from any position. 

CE/PDH : This 50 minute presentation will provide with you one CE credit

Membership

SAME Membership offers many benefits! Primarily the opportunity to meet and share ideas with other professionals from the government and private sector with the mutual goal of promoting a strong national defense. Most SAME activities are sponsored through a local Post, which makes it important to affiliate with a local Post to fully participate in SAME's many opportunities. The Hampton Roads Post of SAME has 100 Sustaining Member firms and over 500 individual members. Our primary gathering consists of a luncheon each month, featuring guest speakers addressing a wide range of engineering and construction related topics.

If you are interested in joining SAME, you may  sign up here. We hope you will decide to affiliate with the Hampton Roads Post. To do that simply enter Hampton Roads Post in the appropriate place under the Post and Dues section. We also have application forms available upon request.

If you desire additional information, please contact our Membership Chair, Captain Jim Heinz, U.S. Coast Guard.  If he is not available, you can contact any of our other Post Officers.
