Abstract:
This article covers a study designed to revisit an ongoing debate regarding the use of three-dimensional (3-D) laser scanners for evaluating concrete construction tolerances. Scanner hardware and software as well as general practices continue to evolve, so how has this progress affected the accuracy of scan measurements?
