When laser scanning is used during the data collection, the camera is mostly coupled rigidly with the scanner and its orientation relative to the scanner is precisely measured.

The term 'laser scanning' has also been used somewhat interchangeably for DSSP.

With computerisation, electronic distance measurement (EDM), total stations, GPS surveying and laser scanning have supplemented (and to a large extent supplanted) the traditional optical instruments.

High-resolution laser scanning of ballots, for example, would unambiguously allow a determination of whether any part of the chad was not attached to the rest of the ballot.

Such laser scanning would be prohibitively expensive.

In modern engineering, the term 'laser scanning' is used with two related, but separate meanings.

In addition to original blueprints of many tracks, developers are using laser scanning of tracks to achieve millimeter-accurate precision track recreations.

Most laser scanners automatically erase the image plate after laser scanning is complete.

The laser scanning is completed by the moving the mirror across the approaching tip.

Lidar Surveying - Three-dimensional laser scanning provides high definition surveying for architectural, as-built, and engineering surveys.
