(iii) LiDAR scanner

The Leica P40 LiDAR Scanner is a high quality device suitable for structural engineering applications where 3D imaging at high precision is required. As a ground-mounted device, it requires time to deploy in a specific outdoor location. As distinct from Structure Sensor, the P40 is a full assembly device that can capture, compute and generate files by itself.
The scanner does a 360 degree scan centered from where it stands. In our work, we deployed the P40 to the Broadway - 26th Street intersection and conducted a scan. The scan covered the targeted curb, although this was only a tiny portion of the overall scanned data, which captured the surrounding buildings in great detail. We cut area of interest out, measured the curb dimensions in points cloud.
