HERON SUCCESS CASE — CIVIL PROTECTION

PLANNING THE SECURITY OF PUBLIC EVENTS Fair square, Trento (IT)

PDF versione italiana

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

KEYWORDS: Civil protection | Security | Public event management | Heron | 3D Mapping 

One of the main problems in planning a public event is the lack of updated data. Over time, a site is subject to multiple changes (sidewalks, green areas, maintenance or remediation, etc.) and not always the maps, available for civil protection, represent real metric data. All these issues were met in the present use case, where a tensile structure was planned in the main square of Trento.



NEEDS AND GOALS
  • Check for any differences between the existing cadastral maps and the current state of the square, in order to detect the presence of new elements potentially obstructing the public security plans.
  • Provide easy and effective analysis of places dedicated to events/fairs, starting from real and updated data.

« I’ve been amazed of the speediness of HERON in providing us with real data of the location we chose for the event! Without the HERON real data we would not have seen that this space was not suitable for the structures and the pool of people we had in mind. »

Stefano Farina | Safety Consultant and Trainer


Trento square data elaboration

Thanks to a quick walk with HERON it was possible to generate an updated map of the square and proceed with the planning of the safety of the routes. It was possible to discover that the large trees (not marked in the old maps) were a serious obstacle to the management of the event. It was therefore decided to change locations, preventing a huge waste of money and work. (Read more about the Italian public event rules "DECRETO GABRIELLI")

    PRESS RELEASE — Gexcel at the FARO 3D USER CONFERENCE ASIA PACIFIC 2016

    July 6th, 2016, Beijing (China) — On Friday 8th, during the FARO 3D User Conference (PRD JW Marriott Hotel Beijing),  Gexcel will present to the Asian market the innovative and outstanding software solutions to automatic align, organize and combine in a same project the FARO Focus3D static scans and the FARO Freestyle3D high resolution scans.
    Learn more http://gexcel.it/en/faro-freestyle


    Thanks to the collaboration with Guangzhou Scan Technology Ltd., the laser scanning 3D documentation surveying activities at the Foshan Chin Woo Assembly Hall (Chungshan Park, Foshan, China) will be presented. JRC 3D Reconstructor® has been successfully used for this important survey finalized to a restoration project. This example is a clear demonstration that using a powerful software like JRC 3D Reconstructor®, the data processing and the output extraction workflows give you excellent results in an easy and fast way.

    Mr. Yangting, from Guangzhou Scan Technology Ltd., said:

    «In 2016, Guangzhou Scan Technology Ltd. was commissioned by Chin Woo Athletic Association to conduct a survey of the assembly hall for restoration purpose. With the help of Faro Focus3D X130 scanner and Gexcel JRC 3D Reconstructor® software, a series of high-resolution point cloud images were generated and an accurate set of survey drawings were delivered later on as reference for restoration design in the coming future».



    «Foshan Chin Woo Assembly Hall, located in Chungshan Park, Foshan, was the largest and most well preserved Chin Woo hall in China. Built in 1935 (24th year of the Republic), the exterior of the building had the elements of ancient Chinese architecture: a double-eaves hip-and-gable roof with green glazed roofing tiles. While looked from the outside, it was a traditional seven-bay-wide corridor building, a modern steel truss design was adopted to create a long-span, column-free space inside the stadium. In 1998, Chin Woo Assembly Hall has been officially approved by Foshan government as one of the municipal culture relics. It has been forced shut down in 2010, however, due to poor condition resulting from lack of proper maintenance».

    PRESS RELEASE — Gexcel at SPAR Japan 2016

    June 1st, 2016, Tokyo (Japan) — On Wednesday 1st, prof. Yoshiki Hori, Professor of History of Architecture and City Planning in Europe, from the Department of Architecture and Urban Design of Faculty of Human-Environment Studies of the Kyushu University (Japan), will present at SPAR Japan 2016 his research activities in 3D laser scanning surveying of international archeological sites.

    At the same conference Mr. Muramatsu Kiyoshishin, Gexcel Japan technical manager, will chair a workshop focused on the use of the main Gexcel software for laser scanning, JRC 3D Reconstructor®.


    The workshop will also introduce
    - the new BIM&Industrial Plant Suite® (www.gexcel.it/en/software/suite)
    - the new compatibility between DotProduct® data and JRC 3D Reconstructor® (www.gexcel.it/en/dot-product)


    «JRC 3D Reconstructor® has been specifically designed to align or register many datasets and large volumes of point cloud data automatically. I can say that the point clouds processing engine of JRC 3D Reconstructor® can be used to improve the performance of the whole laser scanning data processing, providing a familiar software environment and meeting the needs of laser scanning data elaboration»

    These are the considerations about JRC 3D Reconstructor® given to Gexcel Japan by Prof. Yoshiki Hori who has a long experience on the use of laser scanning for the documentation of ancient archeological sites around the world and, in particular, in Roman Archeological sites as Pompei and Ostia Antica in Italy.


    Prof. Hori underlines that
    «Many dense and extensive datasets of point clouds, resulting in many gigabyte of data, usually require large amount of RAM and a high performance graphics cards, but the crucial stage remain the process known as cloud alignment or registration, which is done using targets, such as spheres or checker boards. As that process is inevitable in terrestrial laser scanning, we have to spend much time and effort to align or register datasets increasing their size during the post-survey process».
    Thanks to JRC 3D Reconstructor® now the data processing is faster than ever, in fact
    «In my laboratory a few under or graduate students used to captured more than 30 datasets per day and the pre-registration process could not be completed until the next morning. Actually they do not work more so hard with the software but just running the pre-registration command. JRC 3D Reconstructor® has become essential for the process of integration and management of many point clouds in different formats produced by Leica, Faro, Teledyne-Optech, etc.»



    ==========

    At SPAR Japan, Gexcel will also announce that, starting from 2016, has become the official representative of the SITECO RoadScanner  MOBILE MAPPING SYSTEM  in Asia Pacific. Configurable with various sensors and Inertial Navigation Systems, RoadScanner4 and RoadScanner Compact represent the right flexible choice for 3D mobile laser scanner surveying.
