How Scan Density Affects Project Outcomes

Scan density refers to how many data points are captured during a LiDAR scan. The selected density directly influences detail level and processing requirements.

Important considerations include:

• Higher density scans – Capture finer details but may increase processing time.
• Lower density scans – Work well for general layouts and large-scale planning.
• Project-specific balance – Matching density to the intended use improves efficiency.
• Data usability – Appropriate density ensures outputs remain practical and readable.

Understanding scan density helps ensure results align with project goals without unnecessary complexity.
