Virtually all technologies that are used for scanning very large objects, such as large machinery and fabricated parts, vehicles, aircraft, buildings, construction and archaeological sites, mines and industrial plants, use lasers. The two basic choices are those that can survey an entire scene in a single sweep and those that are based on some form of laser tracking. The former offers faster data collection, while the latter offers greater accuracy. As in all other scanning situations, specifications overlap.
A few companies provide color laser scanning technology. For example, Minolta and 3rdTech, Inc. use laser scanning to make surface measurements and combine that data with color video information gathered separately. The choice of technology is largely driven by the specific application.
