SOKKIA 3D Laser Mapping:
| 3D Laser Mapping is the use of low level laser
systems to record and map exact 3D coordinates in X,Y,Z space.
Currently reconstructionists sometimes use Electronic Total Stations to
collect essentially 2D measurements for use in Kinetic Energy crush
calculations. 3D Laser Mapping using the SOKKIA Vulcan Laser
Spatial Mapping equipment records in great detail the position of the
instrument rod. In most situations with a Total Station you could
collect 50 - 200 shots using either reflective sheet targets or
reflectorless mode. Using the Vulcan Laser Mapping System it is
common to record over 4,000 data points during the job. Once
collected, MapVista or Autodesk Field Survey will perform
post-processing in Field to Finish to create 3d linework. Below
are several examples of Vulcan Laser Mapping. The Vulcan Laser
Mapping System is very flexible and can be used for mapping traffic
crash scenes as well as 3d mapping of vehicles. SOKKIA sells and
supports the Vulcan Laser Mapping System along with ArcSecond.
We have found the Laser as a very useful tool in the reconstruction operation.
