In recent times, interest in the study of engineering structures has been on the rise as a result of improvement in the tools used for operations such as, As-built mapping, deformation studies to modeling for navigation etc. There is a need to be able to model structure in such way that accurate needed information about positions of structures, features, points and dimensions can be easily extracted without having to pay physical visits to site to obtain measurement of the various components of structures. In this project, the data acquisition system used is the terrestrial laser scanner, High Definition Surveying (HDS) equipment; the methodology employed is similar to Close Range Photogrammetry (CRP). CRP is a budding technique or field used for data acquisition in Geomatics. It is a subset of the general photogrammetry; it is often loosely tagged terrestrial photogrammetry. The terrestrial laser scanning technology is a data acquisition system similar to CRP in terms of deigning the positioning of instrument and targets, calibration, ground control point, speed of data acquisition, data processing (interior, relative and absolute orientation) and the accuracy obtainable. The aim of this project was to generate the three-dimensional model of structures in the Faculty of Engineering, University of Lagos using High Definition Surveying, the Leica Scan Station 2 HDS equipment was used along with Cyclone software for data acquisition and processing. The result was a 3D view (of point clouds) of the structure that was studied, from which features were measured from the model generated and compared with physical measurement on site. The technology of the laser scanner proved to be quite useful and reliable in generating three dimensional models without compromising accuracy and precision. The generation of the 3D models is the replica of reality of the structures with accurate dimensions and location.

This document summarizes a study that developed an algorithm to automate multiple endmember selection from Hyperion hyperspectral imagery and applied it to map land cover in central Cairo, Egypt. The algorithm extends the multiple endmember spectral mixture analysis (MESMA) method to handle high-dimensional Hyperion pixels. It allows both spectral bands and endmembers to vary per pixel to select optimal bands that maximize endmember separability and minimize spectral confusion, improving abundance accuracy. The authors tested the algorithm on a Hyperion image of Cairo, finding that its rich spectral information can help address limitations in automated urban land cover mapping compared to multispectral data.

Detection of Vegetation Coverage in Urban Agglomeration of Brussels by NDVI I...Universität Salzburg
Detection of vegetation coverage in urban agglomeration of Brussels by NDVI indicator using eCognition software and remote sensing measurements Lemenkova Polina Introduction The study area encompasses selected regions of the Brussels municipality, Belgium. In the past years the city of Brussels is experiencing intensification of the density of building structures. Unlike in some other European cities, where the most evident problem is urbanization and expansion of the city margins to the suburbia, the urban structure Brussels is the intensification of the buildings density in the city centre and the existing dwelling districts. Thus, the city structure tends to become more intense and dense, due to the process of filling the empty spaces in the urban patterns and high level housing. Another example of urban processes in Brussels is reorganisation of the industrial areas. At the same time, monitoring vegetation areas is essential for environmental sustainability of the capital city. The lack of the green spaces may cause ecological instability and increase atmospheric pollution. For studies of the specific problems of the Brussels city the remote sensing data (raster image) was used together with NDVI function, in order to detect areas covered by city parks.

Automatic traffic light controller for emergency vehicle using peripheral int...IJECEIAES
Traffic lights play such important role in traffic management to control the traffic on the road. Situation at traffic light area is getting worse especially in the event of emergency cases. During traffic congestion, it is difficult for emergency vehicle to cross the road which involves many junctions. This situation leads to unsafe conditions which may cause accident. An Automatic Traffic Light Controller for Emergency Vehicle is designed and developed to help emergency vehicle crossing the road at traffic light junction during emergency situation. This project used Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) to program a priority-based traffic light controller for emergency vehicle. During emergency cases, emergency vehicle like ambulance can trigger the traffic light signal to change from red to green in order to make clearance for its path automatically. Using Radio Frequency (RF) the traffic light operation will turn back to normal when the ambulance finishes crossing the road. Result showed the design is capable to response within the range of 55 meters. This project was successfully designed, implemented and tested.

Data Collection via Synthetic Aperture Radiometry towards Global SystemIJERA Editor
Nowadays it is widely accepted that remote sensing is an efficient way of large data management philosophy. In
this paper, we present a future view of the big data collection by synthetic aperture radiometry as a passive
microwave remote sensing towards building a global monitoring system. Since the collected data may not have
any value, it is mandatory to analyses these data in order to get valuable and beneficial information with respect
to their base data. The collected data by synthetic aperture radiometry is one of the high resolution earth
observation, these data will be an intensive problems, Meanwhile, Synthetic Aperture Radar able to work in
several bands, X, C, S, L and P-band. The important role of synthetic aperture radiometry is how to collect data
from areas with inadequate network infrastructures where the ground network facilities were destroyed. The
future concern is to establish a new global data management system, which is supported by the groups of
international teams working to develop technology based on international regulations. There is no doubt that the
existing techniques are so limited to solve big data problems totally. There is a lot of work towards improving 2-
D and 3-D SAR to get better resolution.
Inclined Image Recognition for Aerial Mapping using Deep Learning and Tree ba...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
One of the important capabilities of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is aerial mapping. Aerial mapping is an image registration problem, i.e., the problem of transforming different sets of images into one coordinate system. In image registration, the quality of the output is strongly influenced by the quality of input (i.e., images captured by the UAV). Therefore, selecting the quality of input images becomes important and one of the challenging task in aerial mapping because the ground truth in the mapping process is not given before the UAV flies. Typically, UAV takes images in sequence irrespective of its flight orientation and roll angle. These may result in the acquisition of bad quality images, possibly compromising the quality of mapping results, and increasing the computational cost of a registration process. To address these issues, we need a recognition system that is able to recognize images that are not suitable for the registration process. In this paper, we define these unsuitable images as “inclined images,” i.e., images captured by UAV that are not perpendicular to the ground. Although we can calculate the inclination angle using a gyroscope attached to the UAV, our interest here is to recognize these inclined images without the use of additional sensors in order to mimic how humans perform this task visually. To realize that, we utilize a deep learning method with the combination of tree-based models to build an inclined image recognition system. We have validated the proposed system with the images captured by the UAV. We collected 192 images and labelled them with two different levels of classes (i.e., coarse- and fine-classification). We compared this with several models and the results showed that our proposed system yielded an improvement of accuracy rate up to 3%.
AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION OF CLOUD COVER REGIONS USING SURF ijcseit
Weather forecasting has become an indispensable application to predict the state of the atmosphere for a
future time based on cloud cover identification. But it generally needs the experience of a well-trained
meteorologist. In this paper, a novel method is proposed for automatic cloud cover estimation, typical to
Indian Territory Speeded Up Robust Feature Transform(SURF) is applied on the satellite images to obtain
the affine corrected images. The extracted cloud regions from the affine corrected images based on Otsu
threshold are superimposed on the artistic grids representing latitude and longitude over India. The
segmented cloud and grid composition drive a look up table mechanism to identify the cloud cover regions.
Owing to its simplicity, the proposed method processes the test images faster and provides accurate
segmentation for cloud cover regions.
Processing of raw astronomical data of large volume by map reduce modelSergey Gerasimov
Exponential grow of volume, increased quality of data in current and incoming sky surveys open new horizons for astrophysics but require new approaches to data processing specially big data technologies and cloud computing. This work presents a MapReduce-based approach to solve a major and important computational task in astrophysics - raw astronomical image data processing.
Convolutional neural networks can be used to automatically identify stratigraphic patterns in seismic data. The CNNs can be trained on various seismic facies and depositional sequences to recognize visual similarities. This will help perform seismic stratigraphic interpretation more efficiently and objectively compared to current methods that rely heavily on human expertise. The automated identification of stratigraphic features could further allow the detection of potential play types, leads, and prospects within the seismic volume.

Feature Extraction from the Satellite Image Gray Color and Knowledge Discove...IJMER
Satellite take images of the Earth in selected spectral bands that are in both the visible and
the infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Many Satellites provide three types of Satellite
Images. These Images are Visible Satellite Image, Infrared Satellite Image, and Water Vapor Satellite
Image. These images are important for different reasons, and, in some cases, all three are needed to
accurately interpret atmospheric conditions. These Satellite images contain different types of cloud. This
paper shows cloud feature extraction using Histogram. A table that shows cloud existence in different
image is created, called Association table in which Y represents cloud is exist and N represent not exist.
Association rule mining is applied to this table to make relations between different clouds and discover
the knowledge about cloud existence.
This document presents a methodology for land use mapping using segmentation techniques on coarse resolution SAR data. It explores extracting urban extents using the BuiltArea algorithm, then segmenting the SAR images using different algorithms like Canny edge detection.

Testing on Shanghai showed potential for moderate SAR in urban monitoring. Preliminary fusion with optical data from Beijing-1 satellite improved segmentation accuracy and classification results. Future work will explore polarimetric features and additional classes with multitemporal SAR segmentation approaches.

Unsupervised Building Extraction from High Resolution Satellite Images Irresp...CSCJournals
The document discusses an unsupervised method for extracting buildings from high resolution satellite images regardless of rooftop structures. The method first calculates NDVI and chromaticity ratios to segment vegetation and shadows. Rooftops and roads are then detected and eliminated. Principal component analysis and area analysis are performed to accurately extract buildings. The algorithm aims to eliminate inhomogeneities caused by varying building hierarchies by focusing on eliminating non-building regions rather than detecting building regions of interest. The methodology is tested on Quickbird satellite imagery and results indicate it can extract buildings in complex environments irrespective of rooftop shape.
Digital Heritage Documentation Via TLS And Photogrammetry Case Studytheijes
In the last decade, several manual tradition measurement techniques were used to document the heritage buildings around the word; however, some of these techniques take a long time, often lack completeness, and may sometimes give unreliable information. In contrast, terrestrial laser scanning “TLS” surveys and Photogrammetry have already been undertaken in several heritage sites in the United Kingdom and other countries of Europe as a new method of documenting heritagesites. This paper focuses on using the TLS and Photogrammetry methods to document one of the important houses in Historic Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which is Nasif Historical House, as an example of Digital Heritage Documentation (DHD).

Unsupervised Building Extraction from High Resolution Satellite Images Irresp...CSCJournals
The document discusses an unsupervised method for extracting buildings from high resolution satellite images regardless of rooftop structures. The method first calculates NDVI and chromaticity ratios to segment vegetation and shadows. Rooftops and roads are then detected and eliminated. Principal component analysis and area analysis are performed to accurately extract buildings. The algorithm aims to eliminate inhomogeneities caused by varying building hierarchies by focusing on eliminating non-building regions rather than detecting building regions of interest. The methodology is tested on Quickbird satellite imagery and results indicate it can extract buildings in complex environments irrespective of rooftop shape.
Digital Heritage Documentation Via TLS And Photogrammetry Case Studytheijes
In the last decade, several manual tradition measurement techniques were used to document the heritage buildings around the word; however, some of these techniques take a long time, often lack completeness, and may sometimes give unreliable information. In contrast, terrestrial laser scanning “TLS” surveys and Photogrammetry have already been undertaken in several heritage sites in the United Kingdom and other countries of Europe as a new method of documenting heritagesites. This paper focuses on using the TLS and Photogrammetry methods to document one of the important houses in Historic Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which is Nasif Historical House, as an example of Digital Heritage Documentation (DHD).

The goal is to create systems that can operate accurately in real-time to guide surgical tools and monitor procedures. A retinal testbed is being assembled to develop algorithms to mosaic curved retinal images, extract features for registration, and enable real-time spatial referencing between live surgery images and wide-area retinal maps. The methods being developed will then be generalized to other applications and a clinical prototype is planned within three years.
Schematic model for analyzing mobility and detection of multipleIAEME Publication
The document discusses a schematic model for analyzing mobility and detecting multiple objects in traffic scenes. It aims to not only detect and count moving objects, but also understand crowd behavior and reduce issues with objects occluding each other. Previous work on object detection is reviewed, noting that most approaches do not integrate detecting multiple objects simultaneously or address problems of object occlusion. The proposed model uses background subtraction and unscented Kalman filtering to increase detection accuracy and reduce false positives when analyzing image sequences of traffic scenes to detect multiple moving objects. It was tested in MATLAB and results showed highly accurate detection rates.
This document compares three methods for mapping land cover of Vaderahalli Village, India: analysis of satellite imagery using GIS software MapInfo, analysis of Google Earth images using Google Pro software, and analysis of Google Earth images using MATLAB software. Land cover features mapped included green cover, water bodies, open spaces, paved surfaces and built-up areas. Results from each method were verified on-site using GPS. Analysis with MapInfo using satellite imagery provided the most accurate results but was more expensive and complex. Google Pro analysis was less accurate but simpler and cheaper. MATLAB analysis was least accurate and most complex and time-consuming. Overall, remote sensing with GIS provided the most effective land cover mapping approach.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is experiencing steadily growing interest over the recent years. For good reason, since these innovative algorithms and methods, such as machine learning and deep neural networks, in which knowledge is acquired and applied based on data, enable the automation of a wide range of processes and quickly deliver precise results. AI is also getting more and more popular in the space sector. The Institute of Space Technology & Space Applications (ISTA) at the Universität der Bundeswehr in Munich is conducting research around AI for space operations, science, and technology. An overview of activities and current developments towards fault management, autonomous collision avoidance, autonomous landing, as well as radio science at ISTA will be presented.
This document discusses advances in surveying technology and algorithms used to analyze survey data. It explains that newer laser scanning and data collection methods produce more detailed terrain data but that older filtering algorithms cannot fully utilize this level of detail. The document then describes different point cloud filtering algorithms, noting that newer segmentation-based methods can better preserve terrain features and discontinuities. Test results show these newer algorithms generate more accurate 3D models of the underlying terrain compared to traditional smoothing algorithms.

A visualization-oriented 3D method for efficient computation of urban solar r...Jianming Liang
This document describes a new 3D method for efficiently computing and visualizing urban solar radiation based on 3D-2D surface mapping. The method first projects 3D triangular meshes onto 2D raster surfaces to determine solar radiation. It then uses barycentric interpolation to rasterize the positions and surface normals of each triangular mesh onto the 2D raster. An efficient GPU-accelerated algorithm calculates shadow masks and solar radiation for each raster cell. Resulting solar radiation rasters are represented as RGB texture maps for efficient rendering of large 3D urban models.
This document discusses using geometric dimensionality descriptors derived from principal component analysis to classify points in a mobile mapping point cloud as either vegetation or building facade. Two training point clouds of approximately 150,000 points each are extracted from a larger urban point cloud, one representing tree leaves and one representing a building facade. Dimensionality descriptors are computed for neighborhoods of points at varying radii to classify points as linear, planar or volumetric. Thresholding of the descriptors is then used to create a classifier to label points in new test sets as vegetation or facade. The classifier labels all points in the original urban point cloud and colors them to provide a visual representation of the classified data.
This document describes an open-source 3D solar radiation model called SURFSUN3D that has been integrated with a 3D Geographic Information System (GIS) to allow for interactive assessment of photovoltaic potential in urban areas. The model transforms 3D building surfaces into 2D raster maps to allow for conventional GIS solar radiation calculations on a cell-by-cell basis. It has been validated against a commercial solar modeling software and tested on a 3D model of Boston, demonstrating its ability to calculate solar radiation for selected buildings and surfaces and visualize the results.

Abstract— In recent times, interest in the study of engineering structures has been on the rise as a result of
improvement in the tools used for operations such as, As-built mapping, deformation studies to modeling for
navigation etc. There is a need to be able to model structure in such way that accurate needed information
about positions of structures, features, points and dimensions can be easily extracted without having to pay
physical visits to site to obtain measurement of the various components of structures.
In this project, the data acquisition system used is the terrestrial laser scanner, High Definition Surveying
(HDS) equipment; the methodology employed is similar to Close Range Photogrammetry (CRP). CRP is a
budding technique or field used for data acquisition in Geomatics. It is a subset of the general
photogrammetry; it is often loosely tagged terrestrial photogrammetry. The terrestrial laser scanning
technology is a data acquisition system similar to CRP in terms of deigning the positioning of instrument and
targets, calibration, ground control point, speed of data acquisition, data processing (interior, relative and
absolute orientation) and the accuracy obtainable. The aim of this project was to generate the three-
dimensional model of structures in the Faculty of Engineering, University of Lagos using High Definition
Surveying, the Leica Scan Station 2 HDS equipment was used along with Cyclone software for data
acquisition and processing.
The result was a 3D view (of point clouds) of the structure that was studied, from which features were
measured from the model generated and compared with physical measurement on site. The technology of the
laser scanner proved to be quite useful and reliable in generating three dimensional models without
compromising accuracy and precision. The generation of the 3D models is the replica of reality of the
structures with accurate dimensions and location.
Keywords— Point cloud, Scan station, Laser Scanning, High Density Scanner, Georeferencing.
I. INTRODUCTION
In any field of study, solutions to problems are developed
based on the information acquired about the subject matter.
The subject matter may involve tangible or intangible
entities but, in engineering, the subject matter is usually
tangible, and in this case, it is a physical structure. To obtain
any relevant information about a structure, data has to be
collected.
"Geomatics engineering is a modern discipline, which
integrates acquisition, modeling, analysis, and management
of spatially referenced data, i.e. data identified according to
their locations. Based on the scientific framework of
geodesy, it uses terrestrial, marine, airborne, and satellite-
based sensors to acquire spatial and other data. It includes
the process of transforming spatially referenced data from
different sources into common information systems with
well-defined accuracy characteristics."
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomatics)
The branches of Geomatics Engineering include
Hydrography (hydrogeomatics), Astrophysics, Geophysics,
land surveying (Cadastral and Geodetic surveying), remote
sensing, cartography, Geographic Information Systems
(GIS), photogrammetry etc. During the last decade, the
world of engineering surveying has seen enormous
developments in the techniques for spatial data acquisition.

This project attempt to explore one of the recent data
acquisition systems which can be termed a fusion of ‘remote
sensing’ techniques and ‘close range photogrammetry’
(CRP) methods.
Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an
object or phenomenon, without making physical contact
with the object. This is possible with the aid of sensors
which measure and record some properties (radiation) of the
object. Remote sensing could be passive or active; passive
when the sensor records natural emissions and reflection
from the object and, active when the sensor itself sends a
signal to the object and measures the reflected signal over a
short space of time. The data acquisition system used in this
project operates on the active remote sensing technique. It
can also be likened to CRP with respect to the design of the
instrument and target positioning, data processing (interior,
relative and absolute orientation) and accuracy.
The Leica Scan Station2 High Definition Surveying (HDS)
equipment was used along with Cyclone 7.0.3 for data
acquisition and processing in this project. High Definition
Surveying (HDS) or simply laser scanning is the collection
of high-density spatial data sets relating to a
structure/objects or land for use in asset and site
development planning or dimensional control
(http://www.starnetgeomatics.com/laser_scanning.php).
Terrestrial laser scanners acquire data in form of point
clouds in 3 dimensions x, y and z, from every scene or
station without the need for overlap. It provides the users
with the possibilities of direct and automated 3D data
capture. TLS employs an indirect ranging principle. The
distance, or range from the sensor (a terrestrial laser
scanner) to a point on the object surface is determined with
high accuracy by measuring the time elapsed between the
emission of a laser signal and detection of its portion
backscattered from the surface (time-of-flight, TOF). TOF
laser scanners employ the following techniques for
measuring the travel time of a signal by utilizing different
physical effects Wehr and Lohr 1999; Lange 2000).
3D data acquisition about terrestrial objects has been a
source of continual research as new technologies keep
coming up year after year. The most celebrated methods of
simultaneous 3D data acquisition of multiple points and
objects are still terrestrial laser scanning and CRP. The data
obtained are processed on the computer.
1.1 Statement of the Problem
There is a need to be able to model structure in such way
that accurate needed information about positions of features
and points can be easily extracted without having to pay
physical visits to site. A model that represents an accurate as
built survey would effectively solve this problem. The risk
involved in some engineering works especially with high
rise structure sometimes can be so enormous. Development
of models like this therefore becomes imperative in order to
reduce risk to as low as reasonably practicable.
1.2 Study Area
The case study, Faculty of Engineering, University of
Lagos, Akoka, Lagos, is situated on the main campus;
directly opposite Senate car park and Main Auditorium. It
was established in the 1964/65academic year with three
departments namely Civil, Electrical and Mechanical
Engineering.
The Sub Department constituted the core group of hybrid
mathematicians and professional engineers who provided
academic leadership in various areas of Engineering
Analysis.
It was later to become the Department of Systems
Engineering. Later in 1973, two other departments,
Chemical Engineering and Surveying, were established.
Beginning from the 1982/83 session, the Faculty switched
over to the present 5-year programme characterized by the
Unit Course System.
The faculty of Engineering has several buildings such as
Engineering lecture theatre, New Julius Berger Engineering
building, Deans office, Professors, Departmental offices,
Laboratories, underground tunnel workshops and classroom
blocks. It also boasts of a well laid out walk way and
gardens. All of which form our study area (both the inside
and outside).
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Laser Scanner Overview
Laser scanners are able to conduct rapid and very dense
surveys of a structure within an hour (Hirst and Roberts,
2005). The laser scanner can capture and record hundreds
and thousands of angles and distances. The distance and
angles recorded are transformed in to a dense point cloud of
millions of x, y, z points that represent the object being
scanned. Laser scanners record up wards of 50,000 points a

second and the finished point cloud contain many millions
of x,y,z points.
The point cloud is displayed in a software package such as
Leica’s Cyclone or Maptek’s Vulcan but for the purpose of
the project, the Cyclone 7.0.3 software was used. Many
conventional survey software packages have been upgraded
to have the ability to view or edit point clouds. The laser
scanner works somewhat like an automated total station in
that it can be force-centred over a mark and back-sighted to
a target. Unlike a total station, where the operator selects all
the points for measuring and recording, the laser scanner
uses a time of flight measurement or pulsed diode laser for
measuring the distance of the transmitted laser and an
internal angle recorder to measure the angle that the laser
transmitted and the angle the laser receives. The laser
scanner has an automated system that programs the scanner
to rotate 360° in the horizontal plane and up to 270° in the
vertical plane. Different brands of laser scanners have
different fields of view (Lichti et al, 1999). The laser that is
transmitted hits the surface of the structure being scanned
and reflects back to the laser scanner. The laser scanner
measures the intensity of the return beam. This intensity is
dependent on the reflectivity of the surface. A high
reflectivity surface such as a white smooth wall, will give
good results while a dark or wet surface will have the low
reflectivity. Most laser scanners are able to take a 360
degree panoramic photo of the area being scanned and this
photo can provide real colour to the point cloud. This is
done by providing coordinates of the digital photo and
allows easy interpretation of the point cloud (Bornaz et al,
2004). The spot size of the transmitted laser is an important
factor to consider when discussing laser scanning. When a
laser is transmitted the laser spot size will increase in size
the further the laser has to travel to meet its reflective
surface. In the instance of Leica’s new HDS6000 the spot
size is 8mm at 25 metres and 14mm at 50 metres. Edges of
structures will also affect the transmitted laser beam. When
only part of the laser beam reflects back off a surface, the
other part of the laser will continue until it hits a reflective
object and reflects back to the scanner. These edge points
will be incorrect. The best way to eliminate this problem is
to conduct 2 set ups of the laser scanner from different
viewpoints of the edge. This principle is what was applied in
the scanning process whereby we created a region of overlap
between two scan stations.
2.2 Application of Terrestrial Laser scanning approach
to 3D modeling
Due to its fast and accurate ability to scan objects and
surfaces, the laser scanner is being utilized in many
industries including mining and archeology. The ability of
the laser scanner to pick up points without having to have an
assistant place a target on the surface or object means that it
is perfectly suited to survey dangerous features like busy
highways (Chow, 1999) and landslide surveys (Bitelli et al,
2004). Bitelli et al (2004) used laser scanning to monitor a
land slip site in Northern Italy, usually this type of work
would be done by aerial Photogrammetry methods. The
traditional method of airborne surveying was compared to
terrestrial laser scanning of the land slip site, which was
40,000 square meters in size. The authors found that the
laser scanner provided a fast, accurate and relatively cheap
way to monitor mid-size landslide areas compared to
airborne survey techniques.
Chow (2004) used a Leica HDS3000 laser scanner to pick
up surfaces on high-speed highways in Hong Kong . Using
traditional surveying methods, this would have involved the
closure of roads and would have been costly. It would have
been unlikely to be approved by the road transport authority
of the Hong Kong Police. Laser scanning allowed the safe
and accurate, non-contact survey of the highway surfaces
and features without the closure of roads and the risk to
survey personnel. Compared to the traditional method of
reflector less measurements to features, and the time taken
due to false measurements caused by traffic, the laser
scanner produced sub-centimeter accuracy. A ground model
was formed and a 1:500 scale topographical map of the area
was produced.
Schmid et al (2005), in the logging areas in south West
Germany used the laser scanning to monitor soil erosion, a
scan of the area was done before and immediately after
logging. Another scan was done a year after logging. The
model generated for the area showed the effects caused by
the logging equipment on the soil. The volume of soil
removed was afterwards calculated by analysis of the
surface models.
Chow (2007) employed the use of this technology in the
capture of survey data in different highway working
environments. He highlighted the experience gained in the
surveying of ground profile of high-speed roads where
traditional survey is greatly difficult to be done without road
closure, the steep roadside slope and the headroom clearance

of high voltage overhanging cables across the expressway.
The strengths, limitations, and other possible applications of
using the terrestrial laser scanner in highway engineering
surveys were also addressed.
Behr et al (1999) used a laser scanner to monitor the
deformation of a lock that connected a shipping channel to
the North Sea near Amsterdam. The project was aimed at
monitoring deformation caused by changes in water level.
Two scans of the lock were done from a fixed position.
Because the scans were both taken from the same point a
point analysis was done. The results showed that there was
movement in the lock
Corrado Alvaro1 et al (2009), carried an Architectural
analysis and 3D reconstruction of Leopoli –Cencelle in Italy.
Laser scanning, GPS and orthophotography data were
integrated for the study of the medieval church of Leopoli –
Cencelle. Its main purpose was to present a 3d model and
the methodological approaches used in the archaeological
analysis. The site of Leopoli – Cencelle is in the area of
Tarquinia (province of Viterbo), approximately 70 km to the
north of Rome.
III. RESEARCH METHOD

bears some similarities to some photogrammetric principles.
The similarities include registration of scan to scan, which
can be likened to relative orientation; Georeferencing by
registration, which is also similar to absolute orientation.
The instruments used in this project are classified into
hardware and software. The different hardware used are;
from control survey was done by GPS, target coordination

products were used for data acquisition, data processing,
visualization, analyses and interpretation which include
Cyclone 7.0.3, Leica Geo-Office, Microsoft Access 2007
and Microsoft Excel 2007.
A Reconnaissance survey of the area of study was carried
out, the design stage was done in the office, drawing from
the experience of the field reconnaissance survey and the
data acquired from the office reconnaissance survey.
Identified spots from the field were marked on the
architectural plan and a network was created of points were
created. Every prospective station was designed to
accommodate four target points in four different directions,
so as to have good alignments for scan world to scan world
registration (relative orientation).
The instrument stations were marked on the ground by a
‘point edge nail’ embedded in a triangular mark on the
ground each station was also given specific names or code.
The first station occupied was named “station1”, and its
corresponding targets were coded as ‘tgt1’, ‘tgt2’, ‘tgt3’and
‘tgt4’.

Fig.3.7: Showing the scan control window
For every station occupied, the 3D image was taken, spanning the field of view, it was done by clicking ‘get image’ on the image
menu from the scan control window. This enabled us to see the features around the structure, especially the targets and where
they fell in the scan control window. Knowing where the targets are on the scan control window makes it easier for anyone to
acquire the scan for the targets.

Fig.3.8: Acquiring the 3D image (from the scan control window).
Targets were acquired by first defining a fence around where they were shown in the image acquired. The fence was to define a
smaller field of view for the scanner to search for them, it made target acquisition easier and faster. After defining the fence, the
targets were acquired using the scanner control menu and clicking on ‘Acquire targets’. As it was with the instrument itself, the
target height was noted and imputed in the target listing, with each target given its own target ID.

To acquire the point clouds, the scan button on the scan control window or navigating through the scan control menu on the
menu bar. We used either as soothing to the person acquiring the scan at that specific station.

Modeling in the cyclone environment is also refered to as ‘meshing’. The meshing tool that defines the solid/model that we
desire is called complex meshing. However, the complex meshing tool became inactive when all the point clouds were selected.
As such all the point clouds in ScanWorld [Surveying and Geo Office] could not be used to make the model. Alternatively, point
clouds were selected generally across the scanworld and the space was viewed as a complex mesh

A ‘fly through’ was done on the modelled structure by panning and zooming through in point cloud or model viewing mode. The
animation was done by creating a layer for animation, inserting cameras, connecting cameras with paths, editing animation
parameters and saving the animated view as a video file.

IV. FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
From the control and target surveys, coordinates were obtained for about one hundred points in and around the survey area.
However only the coordinates relating to Station 1 and Station 2 are shown.
Table 4.1. Showing the coordinates established from the GPS control survey.
Contiguous and overlapping scan worlds were registered together to form a single and seamless scanworld. The coordinate
system of individual ScanWorlds are transformed into a common coordinate system; this is similar to ‘relative orientation’ in
photogrammetry.

4.1 ANALYSES
The registration process from scanworld to scanworld can actually be done in various ways. These are Target constraint alone,
Cloud constraint alone or hybrid method. Cloud constraint alone was adopted for this project.

During the coordinate transformation stage, only three points were used to re-orient the scanworld into real life coordinate
system ( absolute orientation). The points used were tagged Georef_8, Georef_7 and Georef_12 as points 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
However, other points were also bisected with the total station on the field. All the points that were acquired on the field using
the total station were also converted and imported into cyclone as targets.
Checking was done in two ways. Firstly, points of known coordinates on the structure were picked in the scanworld, and the
coordinates obtained from cyclone was checked against the corresponding downloaded sets of coordinates from the total station.

From Figure 4.4 above, the picked point on the scan is having coordinates showing on the lower left corner of the window and
the total station coordinate is also shown as an overlay. The table below shows the comparative coordinates for point ID
GEOREF_T9.
Table 4.2: Comparative coordinates for point ID GEOREF_T9.
The imported ‘targets’ (i.e. field coordinates) was overlaid on the point clouds in the scan; from which approximate description
or label was given to specific point clouds. Some measurements were taken with the linen tape and checked with the ones
obtained in the scanworld. Two of such points are tabulated below;

Other measurements were taken from the point clouds to query distances and heights. As shown in the figure below;

Table 4.4. Showing observed and extracted length of check features
From observed data the error for the features can be calculated as;
ΔL = L1-L2 where L1, L2 are measured length values. Therefore,
0.219 - 0.217= 0.002 (Sign Post)
1.178 - 1.165=0.011 (Porter’s Window)
Average of errors :( 0.002+0.0011) / 2= 0.0065m
Net error is about 0.006m. This error may have been due to the scan interval specified.
V. CONCLUSION
It is safe to conclude that the project met its set out
objectives. The generation of a three-dimensional model of
the Engineering faculty using HDS was actually achieved
and an added task of a walk-through simulation was added.
The technology of the laser scanner was proven to be quite
useful and reliable in generating three dimensional models
without compromising accuracy and precision.
The generation of its three dimensions is reality based which
makes the model generated, look as close as possible to
physical realities. It was possible to make direct
measurement to features to millimeter accuracy if desired
from these models. The shapes and geometries of observed
features were observed not be altered significantly except in
places where obstructions existed. However, these
obstructions are removable using noise clean ups. The laser
technology provided the advantage of night observation- a
feature not available to many other approaches. Quite a
number of our scans were acquired at night. Some of the
finest models generated were from scans acquired at night.
