Comparative Assessment of Terrestrial Laser Scanner Against Traditional Surveying Methods

2019

79 Abstract— Terrestrial laser scanner has become a familiar instrument and most used technology for rapidly capturing very accurate and highly detailed 3D point cloud datasets for a variety of applications in Engineering. The advantage of laser scanning is that it can record huge numbers of points in a relatively short period of time. The main idea here is to assess the accuracy of terrestrial laser scanner and compare it relative to the other traditional surveying instruments. This was done throughout four different approaches. First, a grid levelling for a 30,000m ground terrain was performed using Total Station (TS), and Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS). After which, the RMSE for TLS was computed. Secondly, a control point network consisting of nine points was measured using TS, TLS, and real time kinematic global positioning system (RTK-GPS) and the precision for each instrument was calculated depending on the standard deviation (SD). In addition, the accuracy of TLS and RTK-GPS...

The Geometrical Quality of Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS)

2005

Terrestrial Laser Scanning is a new and efficient method to digitize large objects and entire scenes. As a result of the data acquisition the customer obtains a point cloud for each scan representing the scanned area. In general the point clouds are very big, full of detail and each single point is the result of a not-over determined measurement (in contradiction to the well known tacheometry!). Therefore it is very important to investigate the scans (resp. the scanners) with regard to the geometrical quality.

Quality Assessment of Terrestrial Laser Scanner Surface Deviation Analysis in Vegetation Slope Monitoring

2019

Mechanised with ability to rapidly acquire threedimensional (3D) data using non-contact measurement, terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) has become an option in landslide monitoring. Dense 3D point clouds provided from TLS has enable surface deviation analysis to rigidly examine the displacement that occurred on the monitored object. However, the existence of vegetation on land slope has become uncertainty in TLS measurement for landslide monitoring. To concretely measure the effect of vegetation, this study has performed two epoch landslide monitoring using tacheometry (for benchmarking) and TLS (Topcon GLS-2000) at Kulim Techno City, Kedah, Malaysia. Sixteen (16) artificial targets were well-distributed on the slope to determine the accuracy of the employed TLS, evaluate the capability of TLS to determine the stability of the slope and scrutinise the significant of vegetation uncertainties in TLS measurement. Results obtained revealed that Topcon GLS-2000 manage to obtained results th...

Assessment of Terrestrial Laser Scanner against Different Surveying Techniques.( Dept. C)

2021

Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) has become a familiar instrument to be used in wide range of engineering application. It can be used for the rapid capture of accurate and highly detailed 3D point cloud datasets. The advantage of laser scanner is that it can record huge number of points in a short period of time. The main idea in this contribution assesses the accuracy of TLS relative to other traditional surveying instruments. This is done throughout four different case studies. In all case studies the 3D coordinates, obtained using total station (TS) are assumed the reference coordinates. First, a control point network, that consists of nine points, is measured using TS, TLS, and real time kinematic global navigation satellite system (RTK-GPS). The precision of each instrument is investigated considering the standard deviation (SD) of measurements. In addition, the accuracy of TLS and RTK-GPS is investigated considering the measurements RMS. Secondly, a grid levelling for a 30,000m...
