We've been using SALSA for a couple of years, it's a pretty decent software package, gives you lots of information and you can export to Google Earth ...

We use Sokkia's 62mm AP01 nodal prism with -40mm offset, we've got a heap of them including an AP12 rod mount close to the ground and an AP11 at the t...

Great video, I've already shared a link with my customers to share with their engineers. On a recent job one customer asked me for 2mm accuracy. I ...

I noticed a new trend where many non-surveyors are performing scans. All were performed without asking for a single control point. Then when their sca...

@bill93 I agree, it's a bit unreasonable to have an alarm so close to measurement data third standard deviation outliers. Their alarm should be some...

Some points at distance, falling onto the surface of wall sheeting, I've magnified the points to 5 pixels, as they're sparse. Uncertainty between sc...

So just trying to increase speed without loss of accuracy, by changing from a traverse workflow, where we're leapfrogging the scanner with prisms on s...

Just posting some images here, so people understand the level of accuracy and precision we want to achieve I have not yet seen cloud to cloud alignm...

@leegreen So you've basically got control scan positions, with rotational alignment determined between scans by spheres, which doesn't require measuri...

@leegreen There was a problem you were solving here, as your method is relatively unique, I'd be interested to hear more about your workflow and why y...

He almost pulled his hair out getting the terminology down as similar wording didn’t exactly translate to same meaning. Good point, it's not always...

@olemanriver Verisurf and Geomagic.

And getting yelled at by the boss, memories of when we discovered how to edit photographs.

Laser aligning IBS rope lug install. Cheers, Peter.

Hand dressing following machining, we had the swing rack trammed within 1.5 thou of concentricity. Tolerance was 20 thou. About a year prior, I had...

Jacking system, used to float the dragline in its working plane. Tub machining, the tarps are there to stop sunlight interfering with laser levellin...

@olemanriver Thanks, from what I've read so far, having an atomic clock in the receiver doubles vertical height accuracy. Does anyone on the forum u...

Nothing to do with GPS, just a few photo's from the past.

@mightymoe I really would have liked to see the Stripping Shovels while they were still working.
