Abstract
Laser scanning technology is quickly expanding into many fields and is becoming an essential tool for accurate non-destructive 3D measurement of an object's shape. This technology enables users to capture millions of object's points with high accuracy. Depending on the size of the object, its proximity to the scanner and its type, a laser scanner can deliver results with an accuracy ranging from 0.050 mm to 4 mm. So called 3D point cloud representing the object's surface is delivered as the result. The paper presents several representative applications of this technology, and shows the use of the laser scans to document and assess earthquake damages in structures that can be utilized for finite element modeling of the structure and its components and/or for subsequent determination of adequate retrofitting techniques.
