The global 3D terrestrial laser scanning market to grow at a CAGR of 16.48% over the period 2014-2019.

The report covers the current scenario and the growth prospects of the global 3D terrestrial laser scanning market for the period of 2015-2019. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from 3D terrestrial laser scanning technology, software licenses, applications, services, and support and maintenance. The report includes a discussion on the key vendors operating in this market.

Laser scanners are used for topographical surveys to provide deliverables such as spatial cloud data, DEM, DTM, contour maps, raw data, and technical analysis. It is a ground-based technique for measuring the position and dimensions of different objects in 3D.

3D scanning is the process of capturing digital information regarding the shape of objects and converting them into digital models using lasers or structured light. It offers advantages such as reduction in cost and wastage, increased efficiency, faster completion schedules, improved information flow, improved decision making, and enhanced quality control. The hardware collects digital information and creates a point cloud, while software converts the point cloud into 3D models with a high degree of accuracy.

Based on end-users, the report segments the market into the following:

• Civil engineering and Infrastructure
• Forestry
• Transportation
• Others, including aerospace, government, oil and gas, mining, and utilities sectors

Key vendors

• Leica Geosystems
• Teledyne Optech
• Trimble Navigation
• Zollar + Frohlich
