Kohera3D Piping - Creating Pipe Center lines From 3D Laser Scans.

Quick overview of Kohera3D Piping, a software program developed by engineers for 3D laser scanning.

In this video the scan points inside the point cloud are used to extract a pipe's centerline and diameter. Connecting elbows, valves, and tees are added; all of which are then exported as centerlines with snap-to-points that can be easily imported into CAD programs supporting the .dxf file format. These lines and snap-to-points are then used to create quick and accurate 'as-built' piping models for existing pipe systems captured by the laser scanner.
