    Abstract: A technique is provided to enable check of calibrated condition of a total station (TS) having a laser scanner at a surveying site. The TS includes an optical system, a laser positioning part, a plane equation calculator, a laser scanner, a separation amount calculator, and an exterior orientation parameter calculator. The laser positioning part emits laser light on an object via the optical system to position the object. The plane equation calculator calculates an equation of a specific plane on the basis of result from the laser positioning part. The laser scanner scans the specific plane with laser light to obtain scanning points. The separation amount calculator calculates a separation amount of the respective scanning points from the specific plane. The exterior orientation parameter calculator calculates exterior orientation parameters of one or both of the laser positioning part and the laser scanner so that the separation amount will be small.

    Abstract: A method for calibrating unevenness of a plurality of measuring elements in an apparatus for evaluating road surface property having a plurality of measuring elements repeats steps of computing separation quantities from a calibration reference plane on a reference area regarding all measuring elements; determining a measuring element where the separation quantity is maximum from among all the measuring element to calibrate the measuring element such that a difference between point cloud data produced from a measurement value of the measuring element where the separation quantity is maximum and the calibration reference plane becomes equal or less than a predetermined value, producing a new calibration reference plane from the measurement values of the measuring elements including the calibrated measuring element, until RMS of point cloud data does not change.

    Abstract: Reselection of an instrument point, due to the limited emission range of a scanning laser light, is performed with decreased burden. A total station equipped with a laser scanner has a combined structure of a total station and a laser scanner. The total station equipped with the laser scanner includes a point cloud data acquiring unit, a distance acquiring unit, and an instrument point calculator. The point cloud data acquiring unit acquires point cloud data that is obtained through laser scanning performed by the laser scanner set up at a first instrument point. The distance acquiring unit acquires a distance to the laser scanner of each point in the point cloud data. The instrument point calculator calculates a location of a second instrument point on the basis of an upper limit of the distance.

    Abstract: Synchronizing between multiple optical data can be maintained by a facilitated method. An optical data processing operational unit 108 includes an optical data obtaining part 301 which obtains laser scan data by a laser scanner mounted on a moving body and image data of a photographed image photographed by a camera mounted on the moving body; and a delay time obtaining part 305 which calculates Δt when the point cloud image viewed from the viewpoint at time a specific time T made based on the laser scan data is obtained and the camera photographs with a delay Δt when the camera is ordered to photograph at time T; wherein relationships of exterior orientation elements of the laser scanner and the camera are known, and Δt is calculated in a condition in which difference in overlapping degree of the point cloud image and the photographed image is minimal.

    Abstract: Highly accurate aerial photogrammetry is performed while avoiding increase in cost. A survey data processing device includes an image data receiving part, a location data receiving part, an identification marker detecting part, an identifying part, and a location identifying part. The image data receiving part receives image data of aerial photographs of vehicles. The vehicles are equipped with GNSS location identifying units and identification markers, respectively. The location data receiving part receives location data of the vehicles that are identified by the respective GNSS location identifying units. The identification marker detecting part detects the identification markers of the vehicles from the image data. The identifying part identifies each of the vehicles in the aerial photographs. The location identifying part identifies locations of ground control points (GCPs) in the aerial photographs by using the location data of the vehicles and by using the identification information.

    Abstract: To carry out evaluation of a road surface property easily and in a short period of time without being costly. Measurement data of a road surface measured for a predetermined road width along a path of a road to be measured is acquired; a unit area having a preset length dimension along the path in the road width is set along the path; a model plane in the unit area is set based on the measurement data at each point in the unit area; point group data is generated from a spaced amount of the model plane and each point in the unit area, visualize and display the spaced amount in the path, and display a result of evaluation obtained through statistical processing with the path shown on a map.
