Abstract
Improving the productivity of terrestrial laser scanning in the field and in the office
Today's professional life requires a surveyor to record hundreds of scan positions per day and to automatically process them into deliverable results within 24 hours. With the RIEGL VZ-600i Terrestrial Laser Scanner we present a device that puts the users in the position to meet these requirements: State-of-the-art Waveform LiDAR technology combined with a lightweight design result in highest scanning speed at highest accuracy and excellent usability. One-touch button operations for both data acquisition and data processing speed up the workflow not only in the field but also in the office. How this plays out in practice is demonstrated in pilot projects of different typical applications for terrestrial laser scanning. Furthermore, we want to give an insight into the new possibilities of using a terrestrial laser scanner for applications in kinematic laser scanning.
