Three-dimensional laser scanning is an emerging technology that holds great promise for capturing dimensionally accurate information about an object or scene by collecting millions of dense measurements very quickly. ASTM International Committee E57 on 3D Imaging Systems is developing new standards for this technology, including ASTM E2761, Specification for 3D Imaging Data Exchange. ASTM E2761,…

Three dimensional image system technology is now used in a wide variety of industries, including construction, mapping, manufacturing, mining and forensics. For all of these industries, safe usage of 3D imaging equipment is a top priority. However, until the approval of a new ASTM International standard, no safety guidelines specifically oriented toward 3D image system technology existed. The…

The use of rolling devices can provide a means to evaluate the adhesion of weather seals, for quality control in new installations, general evaluation of existing installations, and the investigation of water and air leakage through building enclosures. In order to better facilitate the use of rolling devices, ASTM International Committee C24 on Building Seals and Sealants is developing a…

ASTM International Committee E57 Will Meet Important Industry Need for Consensus Standards, ASTM International, one of the largest voluntary standards development organizations (SDO) in the world, has announced the formation of ASTM Committee E57 on 3D Imaging Systems. The new standards initiative was driven by the cooperative efforts of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and stakeholders within the 3D imaging systems sector. Committee E57 will focus on the…, Powerful Tools for Measurement and Information Capture, 3D imaging systems are used to rapidly capture three-dimensional information of a scene or object. This information is often provided in the form of “point clouds” (grouping of points) with associated color and intensity data. Usage of 3D imaging systems has steadily increased during the past 10 years as the devices have become important measuring tools in industrial sectors such as construction…, Dynamic, Growing Technology in Need of Consensus Standards, 3D imaging technology has been in existence for several decades. Current systems include laser scanners, 3D optical scanners, 3D range cameras, and 3D flash laser radars (LADARs). Although these systems have become more established during the last decade, there are presently no standards for evaluating the performance of 3D imaging systems or the related end projects derived from the data they…, ASTM International: Meeting the Call for a Comprehensive Standards Program, Following a NIST workshop of stakeholders from the 3D imaging systems sector held in March, ASTM International was chosen in a competitive bid process to be home of the new standards initiative. With a proven consensus process and state-of-the-art standards development infrastructure, ASTM is well suited to meet the 3D imaging industry’s need for comprehensive standards. ASTM Committee E57 will…
