3 Kinematic Laser Scanning Mobile Laser Scanning RIEGL VMX-450

4 Mobile Laser Scanning Kinematic Laser Scanning

5 Kinematic Laser Scanning GNSS/IMU solution truth Laser Scanners scanner coordinate systems highly accurate and precise ~ some mm System Calibration lever arms and orientation highly accurate and precise ~ mm ~ mdeg Platform Trajectory from GNSS/IMU comparably low accuracy ~ some cm m ~ several mdeg

6 Platform Trajectory Errors GNSS/IMU trajectory error sources: IMU inertial measurements biases noise drifts GNSS pseudo range measurements biases noise GNSS satellite visibility condition (esp. for MLS) rapidly changing field of view (FOV) number of tracked satellites multipath effects cycle slips

7 Platform Trajectory Errors estimated Trajectory Position Accuracy 20 cm Time

8 Platform Trajectory Errors estimated Trajectory Orientation Accuracy 20 mdeg Time

9 Kinematic Laser Scanning Point Clouds How do trajectory errors affect point clouds from kinematic laser scanning?

10 Colosseum Rome, Italy Effects on the Point Cloud

11 height deviation between all scans 10 cm 40 cm 80 cm 70 cm 60 cm Effects on the Point Cloud 20 cm

12 Kinematic Laser Scanning Point Clouds precise laser scanner data deviations between different passes 12 scans (6 passes with 2 scanners) 70 cm vertical separation 50 cm horizontal separation trajectory errors in all 6 DOF errors are time-varying 70 cm 50 cm

13 Kinematic Laser Scanning Point Clouds 70 cm 50 cm

14 Adjustment Strategies Strategies for a better trajectory solution: use measurements from additional sensors Laser Scanners point cloud geometrical point cloud features amplitude, reflectance, deviation Cameras image correlation matching image features

15 Adjustment Strategies modeling disparities of point clouds: point-to-point distance ICP (Iterative Closest Points) point-to-local plane distance modified ICP feature-to-feature distance planes, spheres, cubes, cylinders, edges, corners,... requires feature extraction as pre-processing step additional radiometrical features of markers on geometrical features

16 Adjustment Strategies Rigid adjustment: especially for ALS each strip treated as a block rigid shift rigid rotation

17 Adjustment Strategies sparse locally-rigid approach: determination of 6 DOF correction for minimizing discrepancies in each local region interpolation in between

18 Adjustment Strategies dense locally-rigid adjustment approach (semi-rigid approach):

19 Adjustment Strategies dense locally-rigid adjustment approach (semi-rigid approach): determination of 6 DOF correction for minimizing discrepancies between overlapping local regions previous block serves as reference adding-up of corrections

20 Rigorous Adjustment Strategy thorough modeling of all system components propagation of raw sensor data quality to final data product appropriate error models incorporation of all available information statistically most rigorous fully flexible trajectory adjustment no rigid or semi-rigid treatment fully non-rigid and seamless floating estimation no fixed scan as reference simultaneous adjustment of all 6 DOF continuous over time
