Accuracy investigation of point clouds with Faro Focus 3d S120 terrestrial laser scanner

Aim. Terrestrial laser scanning is a powerful method for collecting spatial data. This method of remote sensing allows fast, non-contact and precise measurement of objects. Terrestrial laser scanning systems deliver 3D coordinates and the power of the backscattered laser scan signal of each point which registered it as an intensity value. Intensity values are affected by the characteristic of the measured object and the parameters of the environment.
