(prolly "or so", with the way I drive, eh Ty?)

Rim, you gotta remember my birthday is on Oct12th, so i expect presents.

A picnic, a walk in the park ... you may get lucky Rim (brush your teeth)!

Sounds good....I'll drop you my cell # in a PM and we'll get together!

Actually, I work for a Civil/Survey firm but have moved into running our HD Scanning department. In essence, I create really kick ass 3D As-Builts of entire facilities to aid in design and construction. I was contracted by a company named "AREVA" to do some scanning work for them on the Island, and for some future stuff.......really a great opportunity for us:

Here's an example of the raw data I collect:

...and here's an example of a final product we produce:

Now that I've bored the shit out of you.....We'll definately hook up to celebrate the B-Day!

hey Rim how is exactly taken that raw data?

learn to speak an American language, ya goddamn foreigner...

Honi ko'u 'elemu lapuwali mahu!

:twisted:

The image your looking at is created by an "HDS3000" laser scanner that collects roughly 1600 points (x, y and z) per second with an overall positional accuracy of +/- 6mm. The technology it uses is called "Time of Flight" laser which in essence means a beam of light exits the instrument, travels to the first object it "hits" and returns to the machine. It then calculates the time it took to "hit" something and the angle of which it exited and creates a point that occupies that position in space relative to it's own location.

Jesus, I hope that makes sense.....

Here's some info on the machine we use:

wow, you guys hiring? that is cool, i wanna play with lasers. All i get to play with is the goverment's collection of commodity and generation revenue data to create the conditions for the energy market of the future... :?

yawn...

Indeed that gadget is excellent for some dark purposes i have, after conquering the world i'm buying one of those!
