In 2006, an ASTM committee (E57) was established to develop standards for the performance evaluation of 3D imaging systems. The initial focus for the committee is on standards for 3D imaging systems typically used for applications including, but not limited to, construction and maintenance, surveying, mapping and terrain characterization, manufacturing (e.g., aerospace, shipbuilding), transportation, mining, mobility, historic preservation, and forensics. ASTM E57 consists of four subcommittees: Terminology, Test Methods, Best Practices, and Data Interoperability. This paper reports the efforts of the ASTM E57 3D Imaging Systems committee in 2007.
