The department of surveying engineering at the faculty of engineering at the university of Baghdad began working on laser scanning system which is an integrated survey system that provides three dimensions images of high resolution. This came so that Iraq will be in line with the developed countries since this device is donated by the Baghdad provincial council to the faculty of engineering. This device is used in geomatics globally for it contains a laser scanner, a digital camera that provides a wide coverage and the possibility of integration with GPS to provide a three dimensional model. The laser scanner is important because it provides a high degree of accuracy to deal directly with the topography of the land by displaying and processing objects covered by point clouds which is carried out through specialized software with the help of computers and laser that records millions and sometimes billions of three-dimensional points and coordinates of (X, Y, and Z) and recording radiometric such grey value. In order to keep pace with modern scientific development, the department of surveying engineering received (Scan Station C5) devise under the supervision of Dr. Fanar Mansour, head of department for the students of the fourth stage and postgraduate students in master degree in the second semester course. The department is working on rehabilitation an engineering team in summer holidays since this specialization is rare in Iraq specifically at the university of Baghdad.
