a 360-degree horizontally and 300 degrees ver-

directly underneath, that spot is replete with
points from the second scan made from anoth-
er point. Gained 3D model can aid further anal-
ysis, as it provides us with vertical and horizon-
tal cross-sections of the space, as well as precise
measurements of the building, which are signif-
icant for calculating and reconstruction the ar-
chitectural plans.
