Abstract
Acquiring precise and comprehensive representations of architectural structures or industrial installations is crucial for a variety of monitoring and cadastral applications. A number of tools have been developed for this purpose, but they often face the problem with balancing accuracy and acquisition time. Terrestrial laser scanners typically provide the highest precision in point clouds, as they perform scanning while motionlessly mounted on rigid tripods. Careful pre-planning is needed for scanner locations on the object under investigation. Limited number of scanning locations often compromises point clouds at inaccessible locations, especially in complex environments. In this paper, we propose a solution to this issue by employing an autonomous quadrupedal robot-based laser scanner to augment the point clouds obtained with high-precision stationary scanners. We demonstrate this approach in an auditorium consisting of stairs, multi-row seats and additional complex-shaped acoustic diffusors.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
