The first version of OrthoGraph was released in 2004 for PDA devices. An iPad version of the application was released in 2011. [1] [2]In 2013, a cooperation agreement was established between OrthoGraph and Leica, so that several Leica laser distance meters were supported by OrthoGraph's application.
While the initial release of IMAGINE Photogrammetry (called "Leica Photogrammetry Suite 8.7") was in late 2003, it was a combination of new technology as well as software previously developed by ERDAS (which was acquired by Leica Geosystems in 2003). The product evolution is as follows: 1991 - "Digital Ortho" in ERDAS 7.5; 1993 - OrthoMAX
A long-range laser rangefinder is capable of measuring distance up to 20 km; mounted on a tripod with an angular mount. The resulting system also provides azimuth and elevation measurements. A laser rangefinder , also known as a laser telemeter , is a rangefinder that uses a laser beam to determine the distance to an object.
CloudCompare is a 3D point cloud processing software (such as those obtained with a laser scanner).It can also handle triangular meshes and calibrated images. Originally created during a collaboration between Telecom ParisTech and the R&D division of EDF, the CloudCompare project began in 2003 with the PhD of Daniel Girardeau-Montaut on Change detection on 3D geometric data.

Typical distance measurements were between mountain tops. The tellurometer design yields high accuracy distance measurements over geodetic distances, but it is also useful for second order survey work, especially in areas where the terrain is rough and/or the temperatures extreme.
The brand Leica, better known for Leica Cameras, was formed on 2 April 1990 after the merger of several companies.In 2005, the company was acquired by Hexagon AB.Leica was listed on the Swiss stock exchange until the 7 August 2006 which saw the cancellation of all publicly held registered shares in Leica Geosystems Holdings Ltd and delisting of all listed registered shares of a par value of ...
David Hall founded Velodyne in 1983 as an audio company specializing in subwoofer technology. [9] [10]Velodyne's experience with laser distance measurement started in 2005, when David Hall and his brother Bruce (then president of Velodyne) entered a vehicle in a driverless car race called DARPA Grand Challenge sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

The laser beam is used to measure the distance to the first object on its path. The time-of-flight 3D laser scanner is an active scanner that uses laser light to probe the subject. At the heart of this type of scanner is a time-of-flight laser range finder .
