Preparing a Site for Laser-Based Scanning

Proper site preparation helps ensure clean data capture and efficient scanning. While LiDAR equipment handles complex environments, preparation improves results.

Helpful preparation steps include:

• Clear access paths – Removing obstacles allows uninterrupted data capture across the site.
• Stabilize movable items – Securing doors, equipment, or furnishings reduces inconsistencies during scanning.
• Provide site context – Identifying restricted or sensitive areas helps guide accurate data collection.
• Confirm scan goals – Clarifying priorities ensures key areas receive proper coverage.

These steps help improve scan quality and reduce the need for repeat visits or additional processing.
