Q

LASER

A

is the acronym for Light Amplification by Simulated Emission of Radiation. Laser light is made of waves with the same wavelength, moving in
the same direction and in phase. These properties
of laser light are referred
as monochroma-city, collima-on
and coherence.

A

SOCS – Scanners
Own Coordinate System
PROCS –Project Coordinate System
GLOCS-­‐Global (Georeferenced) Coordinate System

24
Q

Scanner’s Own Coordinate System (SOCS)

A

the coordinate of the scanner’s raw data.

25
Q

Project Coordinate System (PRCS)

A

The coordinate system
defined by the user. We fix one of the scans as ‘Registered’, and adjust
all other scans to it’s coordinate system (SOCS–>PRCS).

26
Q

Global Coordinate System (GLCS)

A 
is the Georeferenced coordinate system into which the entire project
is embedded (e.g. UTM, State Plane northings, eastings, elevation; (PRCS-->GLCS)
27
Q

2D Coordinate Transformation using Direction Cosines

A
  • x’A=xΑcosα+yAsinα+c

* y’A=-­xΑsinα+yAcosα+d

28
Q

3D Coordinate Transforma1on – Euler Angles

A

The transformation matrix we seek is the product of the three sequential transformations (in the correct order) or T(2,1)=T(2,F’‘,F’)T(F’,1)

29
Q

Direction Cosines-­‐3D Coordinate Transformation

A

3D coordinate transformation is similar to 2D with an added dimension, the objective
is to find the coordinates of Point A in the X’Y’Z’ system if the coordinates of that
point in the XYZ system are known. Again from analytical geometry:
• x’ = x cos(x’, x) + y cos(x’, y) + z cos(x’, z) + c
• y’ = x cos(y’, x) + y cos(y’, y) + z cos(y’, z) + d
• z’ = x cos(z’, x) + y cos(z’, y) + z cos(z’, z) + e

This transformation has nine independent parameters

30
Q

A

RMSE=Root Mean Square Error= sqrt((z1,i-z2,i)^2/n)

For a large sample population of n, RSME^2=M^2+o(omega)^2
For large unbiased population, RMSE=o(omega)

• Laser rangefinder error
= 2-­‐3 cm
• GPS error=5-­‐10cm
• IMU error=~9cm@900m

Vendors quoted RMSE
– 18cm vertical (95%CI)
– 0.3-­‐0.45m horizontal (1σ)

32
Q

A

Airborne systems collect
overlapping swaths of data
Waveform based lidar is typical in airborne systems

33
Q

Residual, Mean of the residuals, sample dispersion

A

Ri=Residual=(zi-zknown,i)
M=mean of residual=sample bias= sum of Ri/n
o(omega)=sample dispersion=sqrt(sumof(Ri-M)^2/(n-1))

34
Q

Blind Comparison of Airborne and Terrestrial

LIDAR

A

• Terrestrial LIDAR had almost no bias with pre- and post-trench
Airborne LIDAR had negative bias in both pre- and post-trench
μ = -23.6 - -8.7 cm, and σ = 5.6 - 20.0 cm
(errors exceeded both vendors specifications)
• Terrestrial data had 1/4-1/10 mean error and 1/1.4-1/5 dispersion of airborne
data.
• Multi-epoch elevation change terrestrial residuals were 1/3 of airborne residuals.

35
Q

Index of Refraction

A

• The ratio between the propagation rates in a
vacuum and in atmosphere is the index of
refraction which can be expressed as follows:
• n=c/V
• where c is the speed of light in a vacuum and n
is the index of refraction. The value of n is
around 1.0003.

36
Q

Refraction

A

The LASER wavelength of an electromagnetic wave decreases as the propagation velocity drops. Since the wave energy does not change and the frequency remains fixed. This effects the estimation of range distance.

37
Q

Index of refraction

A

λo/λ = (c/ƒ)/(v/ƒ)=c/v=n

n=index of refraction
ƒ=frequency
c=speed of light in a vacuum
v=speed of light in air
λo = wavelength in a vacuum
λ=wavelength in air
38
Q

Temperature

A
  1. The effect of temperature on the index of refraction is the most profound.
    For example, for a temperature change of 5 Cº from 10Cº to 15Cº, the corresponding change in
    the index is more than 5ppm.
39
Q

Minor effects on refraction: Atmospheric Pressure Humidity

A

The humidity has the least effect on the index of refraction.
For a 10 percent increase in humidity from 30 to 40 percent,
the change in the index is about 0.087 ppm when λ=0.915 μm

40
Q

Actual V, λ, and Error

A

n=c/V
λ =V/ƒ
t=Distance/V
DistanceError=Vt-­Distance(vacuum)

•Significant problem if the target distance is large.
•Understand how the
distance is being calculated.
•Be mindful of temperature.
