  1. Laser Technique Assessment in GIS Data Acquisition Technical Assessment For POEC 6383 Tianyou Chen Rui Ge 3/12/2014

  2. Tasks Acquire Laser mapping equipment for GIS spatial data acquisition: • Utility mapping (power poles, water valve, gas pipe, water pipe, etc) • Construction (ask for higher accuracy) • Digital geology mapping (geologic features)

  3. Laser Mapping – Why It is Needed • Laser + GPS = fast 3D spatial data acquisition • Mapping the inaccessible area • More efficient and cost effective

  4. Technical Basics • Distance measure + Angle (H & V) measure • Using NIR / Red Laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) pulse for distance measure • Using magnetic compass or encoder for angle measurement Emitter Receiver Target Distance Laser Instrument Distance = C x T / 2 C – speed of light T – time

  5. Accuracy Distance Angle (horizontal & vertical) Function Support Reflectorless Motorized Autotrack (high-caliber) Continuous mode Remote control (high-caliber) Technical Assessment Standards • Performance • Measurement Time • Measurement Range • Ease of use • GPS integration • External interface • Display • Laser Plummet (high-caliber) • Cost

  6. Technology Assessment Focus • Low Caliber (lower accuracy) • Advantage Laser Range Finder from Laser Atlanta • LaserAce / ALS series from MDL • High Caliber (high-accuracy) • GTS-800 and GPT-2000 series from Topcon • TCRA1100 series from Leica

  7. Advantage V.S. LaserAce/ALS

  8. Analysis for low caliber equipment • Advantage is better than LaserAce in: • Range (600m) • Angle accuracy (0.01°) • HUD display • GPS integration • LaserAce is within the same price range as Advantage and a little better in distance accuracy (10 cm to 15 cm) but inferior in: • Range (300m) • Angle accuracy (0.2°) • MDL Quarryman is superior of all but: • very specialized and expensive and less portable

  9. Suggestion for Low caliber Laser equipment For general purpose laser mapping, choose Advantage because of the above superiorities over LaserAce within a reasonable price

  10. Topcon vs. Leica (total Station)

  11. Analysis • GTS800 series is superior in accuracy and in other aspects but: • Do not support reflectorless • Expensive • GPT2000 series • Supports reflectorless mode • Quick measuring time and • Reflectorless tracking mode • Cheaper • Leica TCRA1100 series • All in one with • Very expensive

  12. Suggestions • GPT2003 will be a good choice for doing high accuracy general purpose mapping because of its support for both prism and non-prism mode with a reasonable price

  13. Conclusions • For low accuracy, Advantage laser range finder from Laser Atlanta is a choice for its better performance (600m range) and higher accuracy(0.01°) • For high accuracy, Topcon GTP2003 is selected for its support for reflectorless mode and tracking mode, and cheaper price
