IAG 124 - Vertical Reference Systems (2002)

IAG 124 "Vertical Reference Systems" is the proceedings of the IAG Symposium on Vertical References Systems held in Cartagena, Colombia in February 2001. Reasons for organizing this symposium were the great success and the ongoing activities of the Project on the South American Geocentric Reference System (Sistema de Referencia Geocentrico para America del Sur, SIRGAS) being sponsored by lAG and PAIGH since 1993.

The proceedings was edited by Hermann Drewes (DGF), Alan Dodson (Nott U), Luis Paulo Souto Fortes (IBGE Brazil), Laura Sanchez (ICAG Colombia) and Pedro Sandoval (IGAC Colombia). The Series editor was Fernando Sanso. It was attended by 130 participants from 30 countries.

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.
