Hubert Palej, project manager for 2G Robotics is currently
preparing on the Tuscan island of Giglio to begin Underwater Laser
Scanning operations of the submerged hull of the Costa Concordia. Now
that the ship has been righted, laser scanning can begin. This process
provides the best data in darker conditions and may take several days to complete.The ULS-500 Profiler will be used to capture details of the damaged
hull, resulting in a detailed point cloud which can be converted into a
3D Model. This technology is hundreds of times the resolution of sonar
and is capable of providing precise underwater measurements of an object as deep as 4.6km deep.A point cloud is generated by measuring x,y,z points on the ship
relative to the location of the scanner. The x,y,z measurements provide
the “point” location relative to depth, vertical and horizontal axes.
Millions of points are then combined together, creating a “Point Cloud”. With the help of 2G Robotics software, a high resolution Point Cloud
and accurate 3d Model of the ships hull can be created and used to
understand the current structural integrity of the ship as it is
prepared to be moved from it’s current location.
