Abstract
Provided is a surveying instrument comprises a total station, a mounting base which is fixed on an upper surface of the total station at three points, and a two-dimensional laser scanner which is fixed on an upper surface of the mounting base at three points, wherein the total station is configured to perform a three-dimensional measurement of a measuring point by a first distance measuring light, wherein the two-dimensional laser scanner is configured to acquire point cloud data along a scanning line by a second distance measuring light.
Claims19
A surveying instrument comprising:
- a total station, a mounting base which is fixed on an upper surface of said total station at three points, and a two-dimensional laser scanner which is fixed on an upper surface of said mounting base at three points, wherein said total station comprises a horizontal rotation driving unit for horizontally rotating said total station around a vertical axis as a center, a horizontal rotation detector for detecting a horizontal angle of said total station, a telescope unit incorporating a first distance measuring component for sighting a predetermined measuring point, emitting a first distance measuring light, and performing a distance measurement, a first vertical rotation driving unit for vertically rotating said telescope unit around a horizontal axis as the center, a first vertical angle detector for detecting a vertical angle of said telescope unit, and a control module, wherein said control module is configured to perform a three-dimensional measurement of said measuring point based on a distance measurement result, a detection result of said horizontal rotation detector, and a detection result of said first vertical angle detector, wherein said two-dimensional laser scanner comprises a base, a second distance measuring component which is provided on said base for emitting the second distance measuring light, and performing said distance measurement, a scanning mirror for deflecting said second distance measuring light within a vertical plane, a second vertical rotation driving unit for vertically rotating said scanning mirror around a horizontal axis as the center, and a second vertical angle detector for detecting a vertical angle of said scanning mirror, wherein said second distance measuring light is scanned by said scanning mirror, and point cloud data is acquired along a scanning line.
A method for assembling a total station and a two-dimensional laser scanner comprising:
- having a total station, a mounting base fixed on an upper surface of said total station at three points, and a two-dimensional laser scanner fixed on an upper surface of said mounting base at three points, measuring at least two reference measuring points by said total station, measuring said two reference measuring points by said two-dimensional laser scanner, obtaining a difference between a measurement result of said two reference measuring points measured by said total station and a measurement result of said two reference measuring points measured by said two-dimensional laser scanner, and calibrating said total station and said two-dimensional laser scanner based on said difference.
