Joint BE/EN/TE SEMINAR: Laser Scanning at CERN

by Tobias Dobers (CERN)

Thursday 10 Dec 2009, 14:15 → 15:15 Europe/Zurich

6/2-024 - BE Auditorium Meyrin (CERN)

The laser scanning technology appeared in the late nineties of the 20th century and has been extensively used in different domains such as archeology, architecture and also more and more for industrial applications. The results, which can be quickly visualized, are also very spectacular. Since five years, the SU group has scanned many specific areas in the LHC using this technology and the data has been used by the integration team before any new installation of equipment in the tunnel. This seminar intends to present the laser scanner principle, the results of these "integration" scanning that have been realized at CERN, the constraints of the technology including the data flow, the sequences' of the treatment and the level of service that can be provided by the SU section. Then, a brief introduction to more accurate "industrial" laser scanning will be given, but this will be the subject of another seminar.
