Technology – Laser Scanners
• Riegl VQ250 laser scanner– 300 kHz each– 500m range– 10mm accuracy– Unlimited returns– Calibrated reflectivity
Technology – Laser Scanners - Reflectivity
• Amplitude (Intensity)– Strength of the return signal– Degrades over distance– Point cloud will have low contrast at range
• Reflectivity– Reflectivity measured in dB– Scanners calibrated against white diffuse target (0db)– Reflectivity independent of range – Point cloud has good contrast throughout
Amplitude Reflectivity
Technology – Laser Scanners - Waveform
• Practically unlimited number of targets per pulse– Minimum distance between targets is about 0.8m
• Deviation of pulse form recorded– A high pulse deviation indicates two or more nearby
targets
• Echo number and deviation is used to improve classification– First of many or intermediate echo probably not ground– Echo with high deviation probably not ground
Technology – Custom sensor mounts
• Lifting platform– Environmental protection– Security– Health & Safety
Technology – Data Loggers
• Small rackmount consisting of:– Scanner data logger (single laptop)– Navigation data logger– Video data logger

Technology – Cameras
Technology - StreetMapper Portable• One 360 degree scanner• Lightweight mount• Compact power and control units• Checked in as regular baggage at airport
– 3 cases, <23 kg each
Typical Accuracy
• Absolute Accuracy (INS)– <20mm for good GPS conditions (> 6 sats with good PDOP)– Can be improved
• Route planning• Control points
• Relative Accuracy (Scanner)– <10mm
Typical Applications• Highways
Typical Applications• Urban Mapping
Typical Applications• Overhead Wire Surveys
Typical Applications• Coastal Surveys
Typical Applications• Accident Reconstruction
Case Study – LA Corridor Project• Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los
Angeles (CRA/LA) set out in early 2009 to develop a new pedestrian-friendly and efficient transit corridor that would link the city’s southern region with downtown
• CRA’s challenge was to convey its vision to investors and the communities that would be affected by the development work
• The surveys for the new transit corridor would be obtained entirely through mobile scanning
• Diamond West (California) was awarded the contract with Terrametrix (Nebraska) as their partner using the StreetMapper mobile mapping system
Case Study – LA Corridor Project• The project would involve scanning 23 miles of
streetscape, including:– building facades– two and four lane urban highways– adjacent light rail lines– 300 feet in both directions at over 180 intersections
• Diamond West set primary and secondary control using GPS and robotic total stations to improve the survey accuracy especially in the downtown areas
• The survey was driven at 20-30mph• Surveyed over 2 days• Over 2 billion points

Southern Region
Case Study – LA Corridor Project• StreetMapper consisted of:
– 2x Riegl VQ250 360 degree scanners @ 300kHz– 2x Nikon D300 SLR cameras, calibrated & geo-referenced
Case Study – LA Corridor Project• Terrametrix processed the scan data using TerraSolid
software:– TerraScan for classification and cleansing– TerraMatch to align the data to the control– TerraPhoto to calibrate the cameras and colour the points
• Diamond West produced the CAD deliverables for CRA/LA within 12 weeks of data capture
