Starting in the late 90's, laser scanners, helping many industries, the data they need to carry out important projects to collect. In this article, we look at four ways to gain scanner architecture industry.

1. Building Security
Scanners planners to build 3-D animation and graphic and 3-D computer modeling of a building's interior and exterior of the building by building to help assess the safety of these and other aspects.

2. Building Repairs
Large buildings, especially with multiple elevations, exterior damage that might escape the eye. Scanners from a distance by a building's walls and roof areas of the survey reveal the damage.

3. Interior decoration modeling
With the editable data, 3D scanners produced by the model interior decoration planners for planning permission to build. Once a virtual interior is designed, it offers a virtual tour can be animated presentation.

4. Land terrain modeling
When used for land surveying, scanners correct, accurate data that building planners to visualize and execute various fields offer allows. Scan areas of current data by comparing them to their original data is retained.

3-D laser scanning is the other uses
Engineering companies who use it for engineering and reverse engineering, conservation society, who use it to preserve the heritage objects, architectural addition to serving the industry, laser survey the law enforcement agencies, crime and accidents which visual access to entertainment and manufacturing companies, who use the site for building modeling.


A Scanning Services Scanning Equipment Buying vs. renting

If you need scanning and you do not own a scanner, you have two choices: to buy your own equipment, or hire a 3D scanning service provider. Scanning on a consistent basis you need to buy your own equipment may be the best choice. Are infrequent but if you need to scan, a scan using the service is more cost effective. How scanners can benefit your business to learn more about today, a scanning service call.

3-D laser scanning in my research, I study how 3D scanning services architecture that will benefit the industry.

   I believe the vast majority understand the development trend of China cloud computing industry friends will not cloud the fast lane The name was unfamiliar. This was established in October 2009, under the Century Internet Group, Inc. is currently the only company focused in the operation of public cloud computing infrastructure of professional firms, including their existing cloud hosting business, cloud hosting, cloud backup, cloud storage, cloud cube, CDN speed and other commercial applications, has been successful in including online games, application software development, logistics platform, application, web applications and other industry clients to provide a reliable Internet applications, cloud computing infrastructure (IaaS) Service .

　　As the cloud-services industry leader, after the initial rapid development of the cloud Express also summed up some of the experience: "We used to imitate the Amazon model of development, but now we look back and find that it is specific to the rental model period of the product, "says Express Jiang Jianping, founder and chief technology officer, said:" The domestic public cloud services make the threshold higher, not only do service providers like Amazon's rental service, we need to do online rental management system and solve the network connectivity and inter-network acceleration problem. "

　　In this case, the cloud Express is committed to explore the localization of the cloud / cloud service development model, in its view, to create a one-stop Internet infrastructure services is a good choice, this model enables any customer need for Internet infrastructure services can be found in the fast lane of cloud - cloud Express customers want fast lane in the cloud platform to find their own needs as accurately as possible the hardware and software support.

　　Fast line in the clouds to explore and achieve this model of development process, Intel architecture based on open data center related products and technological innovation, and open data center alliance is playing a very important role.

　　On an "IT Road outside", we mentioned back in Open Data Center Alliance was established, the cloud Express joined the main cloud formed by the end user computing ecosystem organization. Jiang Jianping was saying is: "to promote the development of cloud computing task for any single user and IT vendors will be difficult to support alone, and open data center alliance so that everyone can work together to move forward together, so we are very optimistic about the alliance development, which is why we actively participate in it a very important reason. "Now, open data center in the league added six months later, Jiang Jianping good expectations have become a reality, the Alliance for cloud computing and cloud services application mode and related technologies needs to explore the fast lane to benefit from the cloud, the cloud Express has become a lot of knowledge and technology sharing or beneficiaries.

　　For Intel-based products, technologies and solutions to make use of the cloud business in the fast lane, while the rapid development, taking into account the performance of its infrastructure, energy efficiency, compatibility and cost requirements. Jiang Jianping, said: "We need to present the core of the three, one virtual, the second is automation and the third is energy conservation, which Intel has a relatively strong in three areas of advantage, so we continued selection of Intel-based product development software hardware or solution. "

　　According to Jiang Jianping introduced the fast lane on the server cloud virtualization factor is very high, now it has more than 30 provinces and cities nationwide data centers providing services related to the cloud, which is more than 30 different businesses involved in the data center virtual machine number has more than 1 million units. In such a strong demand for virtualization front, cloud Express server configuration requirements are high, especially its ability to handle the processor strong enough to be able to achieve high application efficiency. In addition, automation, cloud Express has also been stressed how to achieve lower power consumption, higher resource use efficiency, better resource scheduling, better load identification, to resources, data center-level automation. In response to these requirements, cloud Express to purchase and deploy a comprehensive selection of Intel architecture-based products, but also in the upgrading of these products, the cloud Express also followed the footsteps of Intel - based on Intel's latest products released in 2010 - Xeon 5600 and 7500 servers are currently used in the fast lane of the cloud, but also are high-memory bandwidth and high I / O performance of the configuration of these server products to its cloud services not only provide strong support for the performance, but also effective reducing energy consumption, improve the utilization of floor space - "the original 10 machines may need to install a cabinet, and now account for less than 100 machines have a cabinet, which is our data center PUE is a great upgrading. "

　　Lines such as the cloud quickly benefit from Intel architecture and open data center there are many domestic and international users in the future associated with the topic of cloud computing "IT extra," we will share more with you from the end-user success stories or application story.

Currently, more and more digital products market started 3D, 3D function has been away from our lives more than ever, but South Korean electronics company LG recently introduced a naked eye Optimus 3D smart phones P920, the game is more icing on the cake LG developer Gameloft and reached a united front, the game developers for the new 3D Smartphone LG tailored "Assassin's Creed", "Avatar," "Spider-Man", " GT racing, "" Shrek Kart, "" Modern War 2: Black Pegasus "and seven games.

Let's take a look at how this kind of new product performance. The Optimus 3D P920 smart phone is loaded dual-core TI OMAP4 series chipset, speeds reached 1GHz. Pre-loaded Android 2.2 operating system. And integrate a high level of SGX540 image processor, the advantage compared to the current performance mainstream SGX 535 four times, can bring greater 3D performance and graphics capabilities.

It also has a 4.3 inch screen, thanks to the naked eye 3D technology; users do not have to wear special 3D glasses to watch 3D content. In addition Optimus 3D is also equipped with a 5 megapixel camera , support for 720P high-definition camera, built-in 8GB memory, but it also has a 3D photographic capabilities, built-in dual stereo camera can shoot HD video. As an Android smart phone, it also has flagship hardware configuration. LG P920 data in the dual-core, dual simultaneous transmission between the memory card, which will provide faster speed and better performance.

The naked eye Optimus 3D LG smart phone will be listed on summer vacation in August is expected to price at around 5,000 Yuan.

NEW YORK, March 23 morning news (Zhang Yue-hong) yesterday at the CTIA Wireless (CTIA) on, Sprint introduced two of the latest HTC EVO terminal, and claims that this is America's first 4G 3D equipment.

HTC EVO 3D smart phone trying to lead the United States, a wave of 3D devices, Sprint Product Development Head Fared Adib said: "The move will lead the 3D revolution." He told a news conference also cited research by In-Stat, said 3D mobile equipment shipments in 2014 will exceed 60 million.

HTC EVO 3G smart phones do not need 3D glasses, it is equipped with 4.3-inch screen, 1.2GHz dual-core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon, using Android 2.3 operating system, equipped with front and rear high-definition camera.

Adib openly declared that it is probably the industry's most powerful smart phone.

In addition, Sprint's HTC Evo View 4G display Tablet PC can support its own EV-DO 3G and WiMAX networks, the tablet uses 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, front and rear camera, 7 inch display screen, using Android 2.3 operating system, Android 3.0 version will also support the future (Honeycomb, designed specifically for the Tablet PC). It is 13.2 mm thick, more than iPad 2 and Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 thinner, the tablet also supports the current popular Sense HTC devices.

Both new devices are equipped with 3G/4G mobile hotspots, WiFi can support up to eight devices.

Sprint CEO Dan Haise (Dan Hesse), said two new devices will be listed this summer, but he did not disclose the price, Hesse said, Sprint currently has 22 WiMAX devices, and they are real The 4G, his remarks on the subtle hint of sarcasm competitors means that the current U.S. market, whether the operator is true regardless of launch 4G network in advertising when they claim to be 4G.

Interestingly, Hesse said Sprint is not the future of network technology evolution path, Sprint WiMAX partnership with Clearwire because once fell into the wholesale price can not reach a consensus, was considered a possible migration to LTE.

The AVCHD codec is currently the most widely used for consumer camcorders can capture an image in HD. In terms of 3D, however, is somewhat more complicated. The arrival of the standard 2.0 taking into account the 3D could be a good thing, by imposing a standard for editing 3D general public.

In fact, this new standard is not just 3D, but since it is the subject of the blog, I will not dwell on the rest! Specifically, we are talking now can encode MVC/H264. MVC is the format currently used by Blu-ray 3D. It can "somehow" to encode two video streams separately, in order to view the final report in both 2D and 3D, where the SIBE by side makes it mandatory reading in 3D. This could easily shoot and encode in "real 3D" and not be limited to the mounting side by side or other formats "bastards"
The standard of up to 28Mbps, the encoding would be theoretically 14Mbps per stream, knowing that in fact, the second video stream generally takes place in 50% less than the first flow.

Sunday night ended the 2011 edition of Japan Expo , an event dedicated to Japanese culture, manga, anime, but also to the whole world via the SF convention Comic-con that takes place in one place. If Wacom n ' was not there this year, the 3D printer Sculpteo   (mentioned in our report on the 3D printing ) had made ​​the trip, even proposing a special offer for the event (a figure like the visitors and in a manga style). A 3D printer was there. The concept of the figurines manga is actually a variation of the already abundant Sculpteo proposed, which proposes to create from a photo or two statuettes oriented football, rugby, marriage ... The company has also indicated that the offer of figures was not only aimed at brand awareness and 3D printing in general, but commercially, it represented a significant part of economic development of society. We also learned that there would soon be other materials or finishes in the program. Interesting information, since the current supply of Sculpteo is quite limited on this point, for example in relation to prolific Shapeways, who announced almost every month of new materials, including metal. About Shapeways, moreover, Sculpteo stresses that the latter company subcontracts to other printers, which explains the large range of materials; Sculpteo opted for in-house production, with machinery purchased. Differences do not stop there, since as noted in our case, the pricing is totally different from one printer to another: Shapeways bill only to the volume of material, a choice that has the virtue of transparency, but most certainly involves a sale below cost in some cases ( large object, but hollow, for example). Conversely, Sculpteo chose to make revenue on all models, which explains its pricing model more obscure (not knowing exactly how something will cost before you upload the 3D model). The consequence is that depending on the object, one or other of these two companies may be more advantageous than the other. Compare prices on an individual basis can be a good idea to make significant savings. Latest on Sculpteo, recently partnered with the sharing site of 3D objects 3DVIA.com was set up (the site However, a reminder directly affiliated with DS). It is now possible to print 3D objects directly on line. Further, 2D, whether animated or not, was entitled to small exhibitions dedicated: Osamu Tezuka , for 60 years of Astro Boy , was honored. A large area was returning on its course and his creations, with many originals. Panels back on the methods used by Tezuka, with tips to save time for the animation (mouth drawn separately on a fixed head, using only 8 drawings per second by sacrificing the fluidity of the animation, etc.) . Explanation for its use of film techniques in the manga were also present.

Further, Yumiko Igarashi was also entitled to an exhibition, more modest this time. What to delve briefly into the world of the designer of Georgia or Heidi. Finally, a moving tribute was paid to Satoshi Kon, a filmmaker who started as a mangaka, and has directed films such as Perfect Blue, Tokyo Godfathers or Paprika. His sudden death last year due to pancreatic cancer and his farewell letter posthumous had upset the fans of the artist. Japan Expo has paid tribute by displaying works of French artists. Work of Michel Pecqueur Thus, Michel Pecqueur (3D animator and supervisor, he has worked on Dragon Hunters or Lascars, the film) has been shown lost in the clouds, surrounded by his characters. Others, like the author of comic Dara, resumed his visual world. Illustrator Nephyla , was represented as sleeping with a smile after a life abundant. Work of Dara Work of Nephyla Japan Expo knows not to forget the superstars ... Other events or stands have drawn our attention. The team of French film through Kaydara , taking over the universe of The Matrix was on hand for a screening of the film. The manufacturer Samsung was promoting her latest equipment, including its screens relief. Many people around the stand, but ... Only when the cheerleaders were doing their show booth. It may remain skeptical about the link with the terrain, especially since the Korean giant would have had real arguments to put forward: As our colleague Clubic , Samsung would be in a strong position in the U.S., with 61% of shares relief on the market. Besides Dreamworks openly supports the manufacturer, including exclusives via the sale of Blu-Ray 3D. A little further, Ankama was present to showcase its world, such as the popular Dofus. Nintendo and Sony were also on hand, but between the E3 and lounges oriented video game to be held in September, there was no hope of shattering announcement.

Finally, as every year, many spectators from across Europe indulged in cosplay, and had crafted for months costumes inspired by characters in movies, manga, anime, video games, comics ... A practice popular with visitors and especially professional photographers, amateurs and enthusiasts (such as this writer), who found a good way to engage the portrait.

3D printing is an important technical change, but British man by the name of Markus Kayser tried to revolutionize the technique in its own way.

Markus Kayser has released a video of himself performing a 3D printing process with the least original. He used the sun as an energy source and sand as raw material. Can we find better place than the desert for such an experience? Thus, man has landed in the middle of the sandy expanses of the Sahara and typing in the sun with his machine called Solar Sinter. If the usual machines use laser technology and resins for printing three-dimensional, that of Marcus Kayser replaces the two respectively with the sun and sand. His process Concister to melt the sand with the sun, and solidify the material obtained by adding layer upon layer of sand grains.

Here, Marcus Kayser attempts to mount the untapped potential of the sand and sun in the desert in the hope that it might give ideas to many. "Not to give a definitive answer but rather to provide a starting point for new thinking," he said.

Company Toshiba has officially announced a notebook F750, which is released 3D -display. With it is possible to form three-dimensional images without special glasses.
Notebook Intel Core processor fitted with i7 , hard disk capacity of 640 GB and 6 GB of RAM, discrete graphics NVIDIA GeForce 540M with 2 GB of memory and optical drive capable of burning Blu-ray .
Matrix with the 15.6 "has a resolution of 1366x768 pixels. Three-dimensional image is formed with the participation of built-in webcam: use it to probe the exact location of the viewer learns, and creates a picture so that the image was clearly seen it from this angle. However, journalists , have had the opportunity to evaluate his notebook after the presentation, gave a skeptical assessment. In particular, the visible "shadow" image distortion when moving a person from the camera.
In the sale price goes F750 1300 pounds, which is about $ 2100 .
