From individual scans to coordinated information
Field capture creates multiple scan positions. Processing organizes those positions, aligns them and prepares the resulting dataset for quality review and agreed delivery.

Direct Answer
What is point-cloud registration?
Point-cloud registration aligns multiple scan positions into a common coordinate system so the captured environment can be reviewed as a coordinated dataset. The registration approach depends on site conditions and project requirements.
02
Quality review
Review considers registration, coverage, data organization and project-specific requirements. No single universal accuracy statement applies to every environment or intended use.
03
Downstream uses
Registered point clouds may support visualization, measurement, coordination, existing-condition documentation, BIM modeling, CAD workflows and other project-defined outputs.
Common Questions
Project questions, answered directly.
What is a point cloud?
A point cloud is a collection of spatially located data points that represent visible surfaces captured in a physical environment. Color or imagery may also be associated with the data depending on the capture workflow.
What information is needed for a laser scanning quote?
Useful inputs include the project location, the areas to be captured, site access conditions, the intended use of the data, the desired deliverables and the required timeline. Drawings, markups and representative site images can help define scope.
What affects project cost and schedule?
The physical size and complexity of the environment, access and safety constraints, required scan coverage, travel, processing needs, modeling scope, deliverable requirements and schedule all affect the project plan.
What affects laser scanning accuracy?
Instrument configuration, range, surface characteristics, environmental conditions, scan geometry, registration method, control requirements and the intended use of the data all matter. Appropriate expectations should be defined for each project rather than treated as a universal number.
