Terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) are contact-free measuring sensors that record dense point
clouds of objects or scenes by acquiring coordinates and an intensity value for each point …

The measurement noise of a terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) is correlated. Neglecting those
correlations affects the dispersion of the parameters when the TLS point clouds are …

The choice of an appropriate metric is mandatory to perform deformation analysis between
two point clouds (PC)—the distance has to be trustworthy and, simultaneously, robust …

There are many approaches to address geospatial monitoring of pipeline overpasses,
among which the most widespread methods are terrestrial laser scanning and total station …

A global geodetic reference system (GGRS) is realized by physical points on the Earth's
surface and is referred to as a global geodetic reference frame (GGRF). The GGRF is …

Terrestrial laser scanners (TLSs) are a standard method for 3D point cloud acquisition due
to their high data rates and resolutions. In certain applications, such as deformation analysis …

All measurements are affected by systematic and random deviations. A huge challenge is to
correctly consider these effects on the results. Terrestrial laser scanners deliver point clouds …

Many signals appear fractal and have self-similarity over a large range of their power
spectral densities. They can be described by so-called Hermite processes, among which the …

Many modelling applications require 3D meshes that should be generated from
filtered/cleaned point clouds. This paper proposes a methodology for filtering of terrestrial …

The best unbiased estimates of unknown parameters in linear models have the smallest
expected mean-squared errors as long as the residuals are weighted with their true variance …
