AEC Forensics Monthly - August 2013


FAA is expected to issue its final rules for commercial drone use this summer.

Drones aren't just a curiosity anymore for AEC firms

Until then, companies must apply for a Section exemption to fly drones. As of early January, FAA had issued roughly 3, permits, compared to about 1, through early In early February, DroneDeploy, a provider of cloud-based drone aviation and image-capture software, introduced a drone-based volume measurement tool. He sees endless possibilities for drone use in construction. The system can jam a UAVs signal to prevent the drone operator from controlling the device. The new anti-drone system looks to protect stadiums, prisons, and other sensitive buildings and sites from In this case, the system protected an active daycare center on the roof next door.

Courtesy Level 10 Construction. For the construction of an ice rink top left building for a high school in Massachusetts, drone footage overlaid with BIM modeling and advanced visualization helped a project team understand design options and simulate construction sequences. The rule covers commercial uses for drones that weigh less than 55 pounds, and it takes effect Aug. A construction specialist programs the flight path of a drone using a Sony tablet that's part of a Site Scan platform that Sony, 3DRobotics, and Autodesk have introduced to make using image-capture data from the field easier with modeling and design software easier.

The new FARO Freestyle3D is a premium quality, high-precision handheld 3D scanner that can quickly and reliably documents rooms, structures and objects in 3D and create high-definition pointclouds. The highly efficient scanner is suitable for all applications in which installations or properties must be precisely and quickly measured from various perspectives. Thanks to its lightweight carbon fibre body, the FARO Freestyle3D weighs less than a kilogramme, rendering it extremely portable and mobile.

Saturday, August 31, how I am going to feed them next month, let alone get them through university. You'd recognise these guys on the boards of all major AEC FORTUNE TELLING OR FORENSIC SCIENCE?. Archive for the 'Revit': The AEC Lens. As we said a little over a month ago, we have witnessed the ongoing and perpetual cloud processing software) and ARAS (crime reconstruction/forensic software). Thursday, August 16th, Autodesk Solutions for Building Design Professionals.

The new FARO Scanner Freestyle3D , a handheld scanner for professionals provides a fast and easy to use scanning solution with verifiable accuracy of the 3D colour scan data. Moreover, the handheld 3D scanner maximises your productivity offering fast data acquisition, real-time visualisation and the largest scan volume on the market.

With this the scan time in the field is reduced enormously during the point cloud acquisition as well as with the processing of your scan results. The ability to quickly record a detailed point cloud of the scene and visulise the results on the tablet in real time really sets it apart from conventional measuring techniques.

The Freestyle3D scans to a distance of up to three 3 meters and captures up to 88K points per second with accuracy better than 1. The patent-pending, self-compensating optical system also allows users to start scanning immediately with no warm up time required. The portability of Freestyle3D enables users to maneuver and scan in tight and hard-to-reach areas such as car interiors, under tables and behind objects making it ideal for crime scene data collection or architectural preservation and restoration activities.
