3D LASER TEXTURE SCANNER Posted in: Updates – Tags: AR200
One of Acuity’s customers, Ames Engineering, has developed a 2D and 3D laser texture scanner using the Acuity AR200 laser measurement sensor inside their GPS-enabled portable Texture Scanner.
With the simple push of a button the unit automatically begins the scanning process, providing the operator with immediate and accurate texture measurements. Once a scan has been completed, the scanner immediately calculates and displays the following indices on the sunlight readable LCD display:
- Mean Profile Depth (MPD)
- Texture Profile Index (TPI)
- Estimated Texture Depth (ETD)
- Band pass selectable
- Elevation variance
- Slope variance
The data is stored in a simple CSV data file and can be easily downloaded to a PC through an Ethernet interface. Using the Ames Web Page interface software, the user can specify scan densities and select from a list of texture index calculations. The laser texture scanner is lightweight, portable and is powered using high cycle rechargeable batteries that can provide up to one hundred scans per charge.
