вЂњAt first, weвЂ™d build our devices from scratch, but now we combine lasers, sensors, ATVs and other technology.вЂќ The mobile scanners manufactured collaboratively at the Centre of Excellence in Laser Scanning Research are being used to perform measurements that are unique, even internationally. The development of GPS location systems and inertial measurement devices that measure an objectвЂ™s position will lead to ever more precise 3D models. A digital camera is a common optional extra used to assign colour values to the point cloud and give the object a more natural appearance. In mobile applications, the scanner is transported in a car, boat, robotic copter or backpack. Our vision has laser scanning present everywhere, and affecting the lives of everyone in the information society of the 2020s.вЂќ From museum objects to robotic buses вЂњThe demand for three-dimensional information is growing explosively. Together with the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute, the group forms the Research Institute of Measuring and Modelling for the Built Environment, which is a world leader in mobile laser scanning. HyyppГ¤вЂ™s research group is linked to the Academy of Finland-funded Centre of Excellence in Laser Scanning Research (2014вЂ“19). вЂњAt first, laser scanning was performed from aeroplanes, but todayвЂ™s mobile scanners can be transported in a backpack or they might be a component of, for example, a robotic carвЂ™s eyes,вЂќ says Professor Hannu HyyppГ¤ from the School of Engineering. The cloud of measured points is used to build a precise three-dimensional model of a city, forest, house, human or, for example, a cow. This is the basic idea: a laser beam bounces off the object being measured, and the time it takes the beam to travel back is used to measure the distance of the object.
