Point cloud technology considered a breakthrough, in industries like engineering, architecture and construction deliver a three-dimensional depiction of objects and spaces. This georeferenced technology enables in depth visualization and comprehensive analysis of structures assisting in tasks ranging from architectural planning to the restoration of historical landmarks. Its usefulness extends to manufacturing and product design well providing a tool for modeling and simulation in virtual environments. In this research study, the utilization of a 3D laser scanner to generate a point cloud of the vessel “TEF” is examined. This detailed assessment aims to detect deformities and damages resulting from wear or collisions, offering an evaluation of the current condition of the vessel. The capability to capture details brings about opportunities for upkeep and repairs, underscoring the significance of this technology in maritime conservation and safety.
