USING HYBRID MULTI-STATION ADJUSTMENT FOR AN INTEGRATED CAMERA LASER-SCANNER SYSTEM

A hybrid multi-station adjustment for processing 2D (photographic) and 3D (laser scanning) data in an integrated environment is presented. The composite sensor being used is made up of a longrange high-performance RIEGL laser scanner, based on “time-of-flight” ranging , and a commercial high-resolution CCD camera. The data acquisition and adjustment is performed by means of a dedicated software package. Questions of sensor calibration and advantages of such a combined approach are addressed.
