Implementation of multiple 3D scans for error calculation on object digital reconstruction

Abstract

Laser scanning is a widespread methodology of visualizing the natural environment and the manmade structures that exist in it. Laser scanners accomplish to digitalize our reality by making highly acc urate measurements. Using these measurements they create a set of points in 3D space which is called point cloud and depicts an entire area or object or parts of them. Triangulation laser scanners use the triangle theories and they mainly are used to visualize handheld objects at a very close range from them. In many cases, users of such devices take for granted the accuracy specifications provided by laser scanner manufacturers and respective software and for many applications this is enough. In this paper we use point clouds, collected by a triangulation laser scanner under a repetition method, of two cubes that are geometrically similar to each other but differ in material. At first, the data of each repetition are being compared to each other to examine the consistency of the scanner under multiple measurements of the same scene. Then, the reconstruction of the objects‟ geometry is achieved and the results are being compared to the data derived by a digital caliper. The errors of calculated dimensions were estimated by the use of error propagation law.
