What is it about?

Laser scanning is widely adopted in the AECO sector and has been evolving at a rapid pace in other more advanced industries (i.e. aerospace and manufacturing), but how will they evolve in the AECO sector? This paper examines the past, present and future developments of applied laser and vision based technologies in the AECO sector.

Why is it important?

Although laser scanning and vision based technology have been widely covered within the literature, this is a holistic review of technologies, its applications and future developments in AECO sector. This review presents a new reference guide that seeks to challenge, and better inform, both practitioners and researchers.

Perspectives

The findings reveal that the costly and labour intensive attributes of laser scanning devices have stimulated the development of hybrid automated and intelligent technologies to improve performance. This paper sets the scene for automatisation and artificial intelligence prospects emerging in surveying techniques in AECO sector. As such it begs the question: How will these developments in automation and artificial intelligence impact the AECO sector?
