An apparatus for generating structural data of a structure. The apparatus includes
a scanning laser range finder that produces reflectance data of the structure.
The apparatus includes a memory which stores the reflectance data. The apparatus
includes means for determining desired spatial relationships of the structure from
the reflectance data. A method for generating structural data of a structure. The
method includes the steps of producing reflectance data of the structure with a
scanning laser range finder. There is the step of storing the reflectance data
in a memory. There is the step of determining desired spatial relationships of
the structure from the reflectance data.
