Assessing the accuracy of land-based mobile laser scanning data
(2012) Poręba, Martyna; Goulette, François
The quality of collected point cloud is an important matter to make possible their effective use. However, studies concerning the qualification of data obtained from mobile laser scanners are not numerous. For purposes of point clouds analysis, it is possible to define several criteria which provide information about their quality. A synthetic overview of the state of knowledge regarding accuracy assessment is presented in this paper. Afterwards, a methodology adapted to mobile mapping systems evaluation is proposed. The study was aimed to validate received data in terms of accuracy, rather than assess the individual components of the system. The evaluation was conducted in two ways. In the first one, it was achieved through integration with other data sources such as high resolution point clouds from static terrestrial laser scanning as a reference. As a result, an average distanceof 0.185 m in relation to the reference cloud was obtained. On the other hand, a classical Total Station survey of points on building fasade was made. Afterwards, length of various combinations of sections were compared with corresponding sections in mobile point cloud. Finally, assumptions made for both methodologies, their limitations and the experimental results obtained are briefly discussed.
