FARO 3D Documentation Conference 2012
FARO 3D Documentation Conference 2012
February 21-22, 2012
Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center, Orlando, FL
These were the first laser scanner conferences I have attended. I'm very glad I went to Orlando, my impressions have exceeded the expectations I had, from conferences and workshops to the site and diets. Special mention for me to have met two I was following on Twitter: Richard Lapointe of iSCAN 3d, and especially the Executive Director of CyArk, Tom Greaves, whom I hope to collaborate in the coming months. Then my my notes about this event:
INTRODUCTION

- Marc Soicy from Polyworks:
Types of mesure equipments:
1- CMM, estatic table to mesure little pieces.
2-Laser arm, low point volume.
3-Laser
tracker... with receptor tool, manual laser and iphone.
4-Close
range point cloud digitizers. Manual scaner.
The best thing is to combine them. Multiple scans together.
For industrial works the best is Cloudworks.
- Tom Charron from Rapidform:
Important concept used continuously: "accurancy"
Very
limited support even for meshes.
Freeform
shapes.
New
method: point cloud to final product directly!
80% less time spent!
-Tom kurke fromm Geomagic:
Importance of copyright! The idea! "It will be awesome if they don't screwm it
up".
Care to scan an area with a sculpture copyrighted for example!
Buildings constructed after 1990 may have copyright!
Bridges do not have copyright, but some may be considered sculpture!
The
pavilions are protected artwork!
Pero no
nos asutemos, los escaneres no son considerados camaras fotograficas, por lo
tanto, podemos escanear lo que queramos, (x ahora)! En cuanto a arquitectura
solo!
Especially these rules apply in the USA.
For this reason, ALWAYS HAVE TO ASK! BE CLEAR TO WHOM IT BELONGS!

-John Smits: Promoting
laser scanning to the A/E/C industry. (My Sponsor)
Point Cloud data can
be used to create as-built base drawings for Architectural renovations and
restorations.
Scans need to be
taken at each level from the scaffold.
Align all levels and
trim away the scaffold data, leaving behind the cupola.
The resulting point
cloud data can be used to create a series of details.
Slices can be used to
accurately define the radius and curves of the panels.
Scanning from
multiple stations provides base data for the model.
Completed Revit model ready for
Engineers use.
Documentation &
Surface Mapping:
Point Cloud data
enables basic CAD facades to be drawn to scale.
This mapping can be
applied to all walls, indicating the problem areas for closer study.
The mapping shows
overall tilt of façade as well as areas that have moved at a different interval
Mapping for Solid
Model Shop Drawings:
When presented with a
complex shaped poured concrete form, establishing the amount of surface
deviation allows for proper attachment detailing of curtain wall installations.
Use the data to
create a 3D model within CAD.
Design &
Preconstruction Documentation:
BIM, Revit Models, Mapping
for Floor Leveling
WORKSHOPS:
No. 1 : Architecture:
- Students: "An independent Research study of the University of Central Florida Architecture division in conjuntion with the city of Orlando". "The virtual Orlando project".
- Franklin Sebastian, Architect: Example of a 3d laser scanner project using Revit.
No. 2: Heritage Preservation:
- University of South Florida, USF / Advanced Visualization Center / AIST:
Depends on the product we want, we will choose the definition. What are we looking for? gometria, detail, or texture?
Example 1: They used TLS to document the Actium War Monument in Greece.
Example 2: Improve Models of Volcano Conduit Processes.
Example 3: Reconstruction of human skulls.
Example 4: Florida Caverns National Register Site. Crack. Two days.
Example 5: Takalik Abaj, Guatemala. Archaeological project, multiple scanners, GPS surveys, imaging techniques, etc. Surveys are inserting into google earth. Computer modeling. They use techniques to see by color the different heights, like John Smits.
Visualizatin = discovery
Future: New ways to teach!
Software they use: Scene, Kubit, AutoCAD, ArcGIS, Terramodel, Maya 3D, Pointools, Geomagic, Sketchup, Z-Brush.
- Bernard Frischer Consulting, INC: Research on sculpture
Book "Colin Ware's anaylisis of power visualization.
Example 1: Augustus of Prima Porta, (Museo Vaticano). "The digital Sculpture project" WEB. recreation polychromatic.
Example 2: Pan-Nymph in the Dresden State Museums. Virtual reconstruction of the initial state. Experiments otherwise impossible. Relationship of cast and original statue.
Example 3: "Laocoon" (Museo Vaticano) Arms reconstruction.
Virtual World Heritage Laboratory.
Example 4: Test of "Franceschini-Veneziano thesis. (NSF grant # 11S-1018512). Hadrian's Villa, near Tivoli, Italy. Book: "Villa Adriana, architettura celeste" (i segreti dei solstizi). Isis's statue, 3d model and virtual relocation in the village.
Example 5: charlottes villa, Virginia.
Seymour TM: Point clouds models within HTML. Full model is never downloaded, only PNG view, (securiy).
You can upload your own models in the web site. (.ply format).
No. 3: Architecture:
- Jonathan Coco: ENGENSUS mesuments.
Idea 1: Pointcloud Rendering & Creating Thermal PC:
Idea: Keep the cloud of points with high quality, not to create 3d model. Export ".pod" format from Scene into Microstation.
Luxology: ignore open elements and text -off. Render geometry outside view -off. Click right the first two option. (x=1000/y=552)
Lighting - ligher manager - place light.
Idea 2: Creating thermal pointclouds:
High reolution: L.S. IR - 710 MPix.
S. camera - 3MPix.
IR camera - 0,1 MPix.
If we combine both, we will get higher quality product.
Add thermal information to L.S.
Increase thermal image rsolution.
Doble confirmation of deformations due to temperature changes.
Tracking of many IR capture in 3d environment.
Faro Scene to combine the pointcloud with thermal picture. Then colorated and aligned.
Conclusion: You can see the overheated areas, areas without heating. This way you can know how much money is wasted on heating, etc..
Next step: Render thermal pointclouds???
- John Smits: Documentating Rusticate Surface Variations
Example 1: High Bridge, NYC. Is better to work in parts the scanning. Then be aligned in CAD=UCS. Multipleslices (3 inch each).
Documenting curved
forms with rusticated surfaces can be easily accomplished using multiple point
cloud scans.
Once aligned, the
individual scans can be used to export data to CAD.
Using multiple slices
at different elevations, create a layered plan view in CAD.
Returning to the
drawing for the vault, begin to take slices to document the surface variations
formed by the cracks.
By
colorizing the various slices, changes over a set dimension within the vault
are documented
The variations in
masonry movement can be dimensioned in CAD.
Example 2: Facade Surface Desviatioons. Be careful, consider the face of the wall, we can mistake and take the interior of the wall. Slices 1/2 inches.
Once imported into
CAD, confirm orientation and view.
Select scan showing
portion of façade to be studied.
Once aligned, go back
to façade view with all points shown. Now we need to take a vertical slice.
This slice now needs
to be turned 90 degrees to show vertical
alignment of the wall.
This thin vertical
section can be compared to vertical lines for deviations from a 90 degree plane
off horizontal.
Start line at top or
bottom, in alignment with the points.
Offsets from the
drawn line to face of the masonry can be indicated by dimensions within CAD.
Once a baseline is
established, begin to create sections across the face of the wall. Select a
thickness for the sections.
Bring back all
points, then select area between two lines for a vertical section/slice.
Take slice, then
return to front façade view.
Save
section taken, alter color so it stands out from other points
Eliminate view of all
points, and proceed to cut sections into face of wall. Save and colorize each
one.
Once completed, open
all sections to reveal colorized topographic map of the wall.
Close up view of the
data reveals the rusticated face of the wall surface, while the colors indicate
a measurement of its outward tilt.
We can export in .jpg pr .png format.
Rapidform to create base line: CAD line.
