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: Detection of sunlight as noise is avoided in obtaining point clouds by using a laser scanner. A laser scanner controlling device includes a sun direction calculating unit 115, a brightness measuring unit 116, and a scan condition setting unit 118. The sun direction calculating unit 115 calculates the direction of the sun. The brightness measuring unit 116 measures the brightness of an image that contains the direction of the sun. The scan condition setting unit 118 sets a condition for restricting laser scanning in the direction of the sun when the brightness is not less than a predetermined threshold value.

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: A technique is provided to enable check of a calibrated condition of a total station (TS) having a laser scanner in a surveying site. The TS includes an optical system for sighting an object, a laser positioning part that irradiates the object with laser light via the optical system to position the object, and a plane crossing location identifying part that identifies a crossing location of multiple planes constituting a three-dimensional structure as a first location, on the basis of the positioning result from the laser positioning part. The TS also includes a laser scanner that performs laser scanning in an area containing the crossing location, a plane crossing location calculator that calculates the crossing location as a second location on the basis of laser scanning data from the laser scanner, and a comparing part that compares the first location and the second location with each other.

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.
