Laser scanning system in monitoring surveys (Lichti et al 2002)

Among the early paper on TLS surveying was “Ground-based laser scanners: Operation, systems and applications” written by Lichti, Gordon & Stewart of Curtin University. The paper was published in Geomatica 56(1) in 2002. Four scanner systems were discussed;

a)      RIEGL LMS-Z210 (used by I-Site Laser Imanging, Australia)

b)      Cyrax 2500 from Cyra Technologies USA

c)      Callidus 3D Laser System (from German)

d)      Optech ILRIS-3D Lidar Imaging Syatem (Canada)

Case studies undertaken were structural monitoring of North Dandalup Dam, WA; Toodyay bridge WA; simulated deformation testing at Curtin University Calibration Field. These works are used to illustrate the practical use laser scanning for monitoring purposes.
