How to convince your boss to buy a laser scanner

March 1, 2016 By

FeatureIn less than 30 years, forensic measurement methods have evolved from using tape measures to total stations, and now 3D laser scanners. So, what is a laser scanner and why should you, as a crime or crash scene investigator, use one? A laser scanner allows an investigator to capture an accurate, 360-degree digital model of a crash or crime scene, in the form of millions of X,Y,Z data points. You can use these data points, called a ”point cloud,“ to create diagrams and obtain exact measurements of anything that was in the laser’s path and review it, years after the scene was scanned.
