Manufacturers and users of laser scanners used in 3D imaging will benefit from a new ASTM standard that helps evaluate their measurement performance. Specifically, the standard will help evaluate time-of-flight imaging systems, which determine measurements by detecting the reflected light from a scene illuminated by a modulated light source. The new standard is E2938 , Test Method for Evaluating…, Media Inquiries:, Nathan Osburn, tel +1.610.832.9603; nosburn@astm.org, Technical Contact:, Kamel S.

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…
