Laser scanning is a technique that can quickly and accurately capture existing structures and objects with a high level of detail. It works by sending out laser beams and measuring the distance, horizontal and vertical angles of reflected beams to calculate XYZ coordinates of up to 1 million points per second. Multiple scans may be required to fully capture the object or structure, and they are then registered into a single point cloud. This scan data can be used to build a Building Information Model (BIM) in Autodesk Revit, with the scan-to-BIM process involving scanning the site, cleaning up the point cloud data, and constructing a model from the point cloud.

The document discusses the helium-neon (He-Ne) laser, which was the first continuous laser invented by Javan et al. in 1961. It operates at a wavelength of 632.8 nm in the red portion of the visible spectrum. The He-Ne laser consists of a glass tube containing a mixture of helium and neon gases that is excited by an electrical discharge. When an excited helium atom collides with a neon atom, the neon atom becomes excited and subsequently decays, emitting a photon that stimulates further photon emissions to generate the laser beam. He-Ne lasers have various applications including reading barcodes and producing holograms.
A He-Ne laser produces coherent red light through stimulated emission. It works by electrically exciting a gas mixture of helium and neon atoms. Energy from excited helium atoms is transferred to neon atoms, producing population inversion between neon energy levels. When excited neon atoms drop to a lower energy level, they emit photons of 632.8 nm wavelength that stimulate additional photon emissions, producing a coherent laser beam. He-Ne lasers operate continuously and are commonly used for applications like barcode scanning and holography due to their low cost and narrow visible beam.
The document discusses lasers, including their history, characteristics, components, classifications, and uses. It provides details on:
- The invention of the laser by Maiman in 1960 and its influence as a technological achievement.
- The key characteristics of laser light that make it coherent, directional, and monochromatic.
- The basic components and functioning of a laser, including the active medium, excitation mechanism, and optical resonator.
- The various classes of lasers according to output levels and safety standards.
- Applications of lasers in medicine, industry, everyday life, research, and holography.
The document summarizes the history and science behind lasers. It discusses how the laser was first conceived in the 1950s and built in 1960. It then explains the basic components of a laser including an energy input source and a gain medium that produces stimulated emission when pumped with energy. Examples of common laser types and materials are provided. Applications of lasers in spectroscopy, surgery, and distance measurements to the moon are also mentioned.
Lasers emit light that is highly directional, monochromatic, and coherent. Common laser components include an active medium, excitation mechanism, and high and partially reflective mirrors. Lasing occurs when atoms in the active medium are excited and stimulated emission produces photons. Laser output is measured in watts, joules, irradiance, and pulsed vs. continuous wave. Laser hazards include eye, skin, chemical, electrical, and fire risks. Lasers are classified based on wavelength, average power, energy per pulse, and beam exposure to determine appropriate safety controls.

Accident detection system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The Rapid growth of technology and infrastructure has made our lives easier. The
advent of technology has also increased the traffic hazards and the road accidents take place
frequently which causes huge loss of life and property because of the poor emergency facilities.
Many lives could have been saved if emergency service could get accident information and
reach in time. Our project will provide an optimum solution to this draw back. A piezo electric
sensor can be used as a crash or rollover detector of the vehicle during and after a crash. With
signals from a piezo electric sensor, a severe accident can be recognized. According to this
project when a vehicle meets with an accident immediately piezo electric sensor will detect the
signal or if a car rolls over. Then with the help of GSM module and GPS module, the location
will be sent to the emergency contact. Then after conforming the location necessary action will
be taken. If the person meets with a small accident or if there is no serious threat to anyone’s
life, then the alert message can be terminated by the driver by a switch provided in order to
avoid wasting the valuable time of the medical rescue team.

12. BIM DEFINED
The National Building Information Model Standard Project Committee has the
following definition:
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical
functional characteristics of a facility. A BIM is a shared knowledge
information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its
cycle; defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition.
Traditional building drawings rely on 2D plans, elevations, sections, etc.
BIM is three-dimensional and covers more than just geometry. It also covers spatial
relationships, energy & lighting analysis, geographic information, quantities and the
properties of building components (manufacturer details, etc.)
13. Architectural Objects
Walls, doors, windows, roofs, floors, slabs,
cabinets, furniture, etc.
Structural Objects
Columns, beams, foundations, footings, rebar, etc.
Electrical Objects
Receptacles, switches, panels, transformers,
MCC’s, transfer switches, generators, etc.
Mechanical Objects
Air handlers, VAV’s, chillers, boilers, pumps, tanks,
coils, ducts & duct, fittings, pipe & pipe fittings, etc.
Plumbing Objects
Toilets, sinks, urinals, hot water tanks, softeners,
etc.
BENEFITS – WORK WITH REAL OBJECTS
14. In BIM, while working in plan views, you
are creating also creating sections,
exterior elevations, interior elevations,
3D views and schedules.
Additional views can be taken or
created any where in the model and
will be generated automatically.
Schedules are populated as schedule
objects are added to the model.
Door numbers
Window numbers
Equipment ID’s
Different views of the same
information.
BENEFITS - PRODUCTIVITY
15. Improved Accuracy - The accuracy of the
model promotes more effective
communication between the parties
involved in a building project and reinforces
reinforces understanding.
Reduced number of errors and changes
throughout the design and construction
process.
The parametric capabilities of BIM allow for
for the consistent, coordinated
representation of the model in all views and
and drawing outputs.
IMPROVED ACCURACY
16. 3D visualization and analysis tools
allow for earlier evaluation of the
building design and performance
by all parties involved.
Building design and performance
can easily be changed in the early
stages of a project, saving both
time and money.
BENEFITS - EARLY DECISION MAKING
17. DRAWINGS SETS
Tools in the BIM software automatically fill in
information that needs to be manually entered
entered and verified in CAD software.
Examples: Section heads, detail numbers,
elevation numbers, door and window tags, equipment
numbers, etc.
PROJECTS
BIM promotes collaboration between architects,
designers, engineers and contractors by working
working with the same information.
Clash detection tools can be used to resolve
conflicts between models before getting to the site.
All parties involved will understand the entire
scope of the project.
BENEFITS - IMPROVED COORDINATION
Model information is only as good as the existing drawings.
Traditional approach assumes that the accuracy of the existing drawings are good.
Site verification can be costly depending on the number of trips required.
Biggest benefit is that the data is verifiable.
Go to Recap and show the laser scan for the Coach Delivery Building.
This approach starts with the CAD drawings.
We can start with the drawings because we will verify the information with the laser scan.
This workflow is quick and accurate, combining existing CAD with Scan data.
