The World in a Point Cloud. Digitalize the world now and create an augmented reality for the future

Introduction to metrology and modern 3D scanning technology for industrial applications. The authors explain the historical development of units of measurement, such as the metric and imperial systems, as well as the physical principles of laser technology. A particular focus is placed on practical data acquisition, with various devices such as coordinate measuring machines, handheld scanners, and LiDAR systems being presented. The text also covers in detail the software processes for creating point clouds and polygon meshes, as well as the challenges posed by measurement uncertainties and environmental influences. Finally, practical case studies from architecture and engineering illustrate the versatile application of this technology in documenting complex structures.
