Development and analysis of Laser Scanner data

Abstract

Terrestrial Laser Scanning offers an alternative to traditional survey techniques and consists of high speed data capture. This technique is very recent and is still being studied. The aim of this project is to study the capabilities of Terrestrial Laser Scanners for Land Deformation Monitoring. This document firstly reviews the basic functioning of Terrestrial Laser Scanning technique and device. Furthermore it describes in detail the experimental work carried out at the Institute of Geomatics (IG).
