Surface Scan
Survey Surface Scan.
The Surface Scan screen takes advantage of a robotic, reflectorless
total station to automatically take a sequence of shots of a surface.
PC software can then use the data to generate a 3-D raster image of
the surface or a DTM surface to compute volume information. Consult
the User’s Manual for more information on performing a surface scan.
