Not every situation calls for a full-barrel scan. When you need to measure a batch of logs quickly — at a landing, in a yard, or on a truck — LogScanner’s end-scan mode lets you work through them fast. Point the phone at each cut face, capture it, and move to the next. The app measures diameter and estimates volume from each end face, then produces a project report summarizing the entire batch.
This unedited walkthrough shows the full workflow: scanning successive log ends one after another, then reviewing the project report that totals up the board footage across all the scans in the batch. The whole process takes just a few minutes for a group of logs.
What you’re seeing in the video:
- End face capture — point the phone at each log’s cut face, and the app detects the boundary and measures the diameter using both the camera and LiDAR depth sensor
- Back-to-back scanning — after each end scan completes, start the next one immediately. No need to close or reset between logs
- Project report — when you’re done, the app generates a summary table showing every log’s dimensions and a total board footage count for the batch
End scanning is ideal for quick inventory, load tallying, or any situation where you need a board-foot total without walking the full length of every log. For a deeper look at LogScanner’s measurement accuracy, see our field test results.
