Aerial, LiDAR and IoT

Stark has been successfully using IoT and Areal scanning technologies like laser scanning and LiDAR to create 3D models of a site or building, providing detailed information from; Geodetic study, soil density and survey planning, to design and construction. IoT scanning focuses on capturing detailed data of the building and surrounding area, while areal scanning, particularly with drones, captures data from above, often for large-scale topographic information. 

IoT Scanning:

• Purpose:

To create detailed 3D models of a building and its immediate surroundings for various purposes, including:

• • As-Built Documentation: Creating accurate records of the existing building and site. 
  • Design and Planning: Providing precise data for designing renovations, modifications, or additions. 
  • Conflicting Data Detection: Identifying discrepancies between design plans and actual construction. 
• Methods:

Typically uses terrestrial laser scanners or wearable 3D scanners to capture detailed data. 

• Benefits:

High accuracy, detailed data capture, faster data acquisition compared to traditional methods. 

Areal Scanning:

• Purpose: To capture large-scale topographic data and building outlines, often used for:
  • Site Surveys: Gathering information about the overall site conditions, including topography, vegetation, and adjacent structures.
  • Progress Monitoring: Tracking construction progress over time.
  • Creating Site Models: Building 3D models of the site for visualization and planning.
• Methods: Often uses drone-based LiDAR or photogrammetry.

Benefits: Efficient data collection over large areas, captures information difficult to access from ground level
