The scanning object was a land plot located in the Kharkiv region. There is an increasing need for landscape design architectural projects for the arrangement of land plots. Architects require preliminary data on the surveyed land plot to develop such projects and assess the condition of the area. Modern data acquisition technologies, such as laser scanning were utilized to create highly accurate three-dimensional digital models. The scanning object was situated in a dacha cooperative, covering an area of 40 acres with significant elevation differences of up to 14 meters.
The purpose of the project was to develop a topographic plan and a three-dimensional model of the land plot based on laser scanning data for further landscape design purposes.
Initial Data & Project Timeline
The initial data provided by the client included the boundaries of the scanning object.

Medium
ScanX specialists have successfully implemented numerous projects of varying complexity, utilizing a wide range of equipment and technologies. We invite you to explore the advantages of laser scanning, the stages of work execution, and the results achieved through a real-life example.
Equipment:
Ground-based laser scanner RTC360 by Leica Geosystems.
Data Processing and Software:
Leica Cyclone
Autodesk Autocad, Revit
Project Stages
During the first stage, laser scanning, photography, and data stitching were conducted. As a result, a point cloud of the land plot was obtained. To obtain a comprehensive and informative point cloud, 16 scanner station positions were required. Each station contained a point cloud and panoramic photographs. The entire capturing process took one day. The data stitching error did not exceed 4 mm.
In the second stage, the individual scans were stitched together into a unified point cloud using the software Leica Cyclone Register. The next step involved processing the obtained data in Leica Cyclone to generate the land plot's topographic relief. This process included cleaning the point cloud from noise, trees, structures, etc. The creation of a topographic plan based on the laser scanning data was developed using Autodesk AutoCAD. Subsequently, the laser scanning data was loaded into Autodesk Revit using the Leica CloudWorx add-on. Using the point cloud as a reference, a land plot model was constructed.
Results:
Topographic plan at a scale of 1:500 with contour lines at intervals of 0.5 meters. The final file formats were *dwg and *.pdf.
Three-dimensional model of the land plot. The final file format was *.rvt.
Customer Testimonial:
The team successfully conducted laser scanning and data stitching, resulting in a comprehensive point cloud. Their expertise and software utilization allowed for accurate topographic modeling and efficient land plot analysis.
