DETAIL COMPARISON SCANS of A WATER TREATMENT FACILITY

Overview

This project focused on evaluating reality capture performance within an active water treatment facility by scanning the same interior environment using four different scanning platforms. Each dataset was processed into an individual point cloud to compare variations in detail, density, coverage, and overall data quality. The project also examined the operational strengths, limitations, and ideal use cases for each scanner, culminating in a practical recommendation on the most effective solution for facility documentation and asset capture workflows. 

Objectives

• Collect scans of the interior of a water treatment facility

• Scan  the same exact space  using 4 separate scanners

• Produce a point cloud of each to show the differences in the detail and data level 

• Summarize key differences between each scanner and best use case for each

• Give a recommendation on which scanner should be used for the job
