Examples of use of laser scanner
1. The identity code is virtually impossible to change and can be easily read with a portable laser scanner to combat the forgery of passports, ID cards and other documents.
2. An examination of the edges of the wings and the nose cap of the shuttle will be made by a laser scanner at the end of a 15–metre boom extension held in the grip of the shuttle‘s robotic arm (of the same length), which deploys out of the shuttle‘s cargo bay.
3. The MMS, features a GPS/DR(Dead Reckoning) combined navigation system, a GPS–Gyro/IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), laser scanners, nearly horizontal cameras and high sampling rate road data measurement logger, can measure centerline and sideline location precisely considering 3D road surface model based on a laser scanner.
4. An examination of the edges of the wings and the nose cap of the shuttle will be made on Wednesday by a laser scanner at the end of a 15–meter (50–foot) boom extension held in the grip of the shuttle’s robotic arm (of the same length), which began deploying out of the shuttle’s cargo bay after 0600 GMT.
5. The scanning electron microscope The scanning electron microscope allows researchers to peek inside materials, right down to the level of their most basic building blocks, atoms, and by so doing, to design materials that have the right properties to fit many different purposes. 3D modelling by hand "ModelMaker" is the world‘s first hand held 3D laser scanner that can accurately and quickly scan physical objects to make colour three–dimensional computer models.
