Hyyppä, FGI Characteristics of LS Mobile laser scanning Point density in the range of 100 to several thousands pts/m 2 More homogeneous (TLS) point density Point accuracy of few centimeters (egg) when collected with good GNSS coverage Applicable range of few tens of m Viewing angle different from ALS Higher variation in the range data (e.g. round traffic poles are not round in the data) Vast data sets when data collection is done continuously Need for automatic and interactive algorithms Terrestrial Laser Scanning Point density in the range of pts/m 2 at the 10 m distance Distance accuracy of few mm to 1-2 cm Operational scanning range from 1 to several hundred m Feasible for small areas less than few tens of m distance Processing time challenging: image processing technigues applied Small variation in data, e.g. Distance variation low -> surface normal etc can be calculated Reference book: Vosselman and Maas (2009) Courtesy to J.
