Although lasers are now more than 50 years old, they continue to be a keystone technology in our lives, and are central to many medical, industrial, consumer and scientific applications. This book reviews current developments and trends in laser scanning technologies, drawing on expert research from around the world to present an up-to-date picture of the field. In the first part of the book, experts offers insights on the theory and applications of laser scanning today. Featured topics include quantitative surface characterization, confocal scanning laser microscopy, and the applications of LIDAR remote sensing in urban feature extraction and archaeology. Part two examines technologies for laser scanning. Here, the reader will find experts findings on topics including laser scanners for human sensing in a crowd, terrestrial laser scanners for geomatics in glacier monitoring, an assessment of airport full-body scanners, and laser scanning applications in precision agriculture experimental design. The book will be of interest to students and academics, as well as to engineers and researchers in industrial contexts seeking the latest findings in this important technological field.
