If you're working in the construction industry today, being efficient with time and cost is crucial. That's why the advent of handheld laser scanners like the Nexys has been such a significant development for construction survey teams. These portable tools have made it possible to quickly generate 3D models of construction sites using SLAM algorithms and other advanced multi-sensor fusion technologies.

In this whitepaper we will cover:

• How SLAM-powered laser scanners compare to current surveying equipment

• How portable laser scanners are being used for scan to BIM modeling

• How surveyors can use this information to better plan for data capture in the field
