Due to improved laser scanning technology, laser scanner based deformation analyses are presently widespread. These deformation analyses are no longer based on individual points representing the deformation of an object ...

Nowadays, the areal deformation analysis has become an important task in engineering geodesy. Thereby, not only manmade objects are of high interest, also natural objects, like plant organs, are focused more frequently. ...

Terrestrial laser scanning was used for deformation monitoring of structures and geoscientific objects already at an early stage of its employment for engineering geodetic tasks. This paper gives an overview on current ...

The calibration of a laser scanner is necessary to reduce systematic errors in the acquired point cloud. Furthermore, calibrating laser scanners is motivated by the need of users to access up-to-date quality information. ...

Despite the enormous popularity of terrestrial laser scanners in the field of geodesy and related sciences the vital task of viewpoint planning is mostly considered intuitively. In contrast to established acquisition ...

Terrestrische Laserscanner sind in der Lage, unsere Umgebung in Form von Punktwolken dreidimensional zu erfassen. Hierbei kann geräteintern in der Regel zwischen verschiedenen räumlichen Auflösungsstufen und auch ...

This contribution investigates correlations in terrestrial laser scanning on the scientific level. It summarizes recent approaches to model correlations, to develop measurement scenarios for the determination of correlations ...

Terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) measurements suffer from systematic errors due to internal misalignments. The magnitude of the resulting errors in the point cloud exceeds the magnitude of random errors in many applications. ...

Levellings are performed to observe height changes of different epochs at discrete surveying points. A reliable estimation of surface deformations by a bivariate polynomial needs a sufficient configuration of the underlying ...
