Criteria for choosing test objects type for terrestrial laser scanners calibration

Calibration of terrestrial laser scanners allows increasing the accuracy of the obtained data in order to comply with regulatory requirements for engineering geodesy works. Two types of test objects (TCO) are used for calibration: point-based and plane-based. The aim of this work is to evaluate, summarize and classify the criteria for selecting the type and subtype of test objects for terrestrial laser scanners calibration.
