Scanning System S-3180-10

Applications Insurance The enormous scan rate and high resolution allow the Scanning System to quickly “freeze” scenes for later analysis and in extraordinary quality. In this case, the data serves mainly for preserving evidence and documenting damage. Using the LFM/LaserControl software, the scenes can then be visualized afterwards. This leads to great time savings for accident reconstruction, checking plausibility where manipulation is suspected and many other purposes of insurance interest. 3D point cloud of a burnt restaurant The PENTAX Scanning System’s extreme speed makes it possible to...
