Calibration

Selective sections from GSA BIM Guide Series 03 – BIM Guide For 3D Imaging Calibration Errors from an improperly calibrated instrument are systematic errors and result in an offset or bias in the measurements. This offset may be constant, linear,

Accuracy of Measurement

Selective sections from GSA BIM Guide Series 03 – BIM Guide For 3D Imaging 3.1.1. Sources of Error All measurements contain errors. Even measurements from a calibrated instrument are subject to random fluctuations or “noise”. Besides random errors, systematic errors

3D Laser Scanning Basics

Three Dimensional laser scanning is very fast, accurate, and useful. It is not necessarily a new technology, but has only recently become a practical economic choice. There are two types of scanning we will focus on – site scanning and
