Laser scanning apparatus, laser scanning method, and laser scanning program

A laser scanning apparatus comprising:

• a horizontally rotatable horizontal rotation unit including a camera and a laser scanning unit that is configured to perform laser scanning in an upper-lower direction;
• and
• a processor or circuitry being configured to perform a process of not selecting some pieces of laser scanning data that are obtained by laser scanning in the upper-lower direction,
• wherein the laser scanning and photography that uses the camera are performed while the horizontal rotation unit is horizontally rotated;
• the photography is performed by decelerating rotation of the horizontal rotation unit;
• the processor or circuitry does not select some pieces of laser scanning data that are obtained by laser scanning in the upper-lower direction during the deceleration,
• wherein the process of not selecting some pieces of laser scanning data, which are obtained by laser scanning in the upper-lower direction, corrects irregularity in interval in the horizontal direction of scanning data.

• wherein the deceleration is performed on the horizontal rotation unit in a state of being rotated at a constant speed, and
• the process of not selecting some pieces of laser scanning data, which are obtained by laser scanning in the upper-lower direction, is performed by selecting some pieces of upper-lower scanning data, based on an angle interval 40 in the horizontal direction of the upper-lower scanning data that is obtained by laser scanning in the upper-lower direction during rotation at the constant speed.
