The purpose of this study is to improve the usefulness of photogrammetry in the field of cultural heritage recording concentrated on laser scanning. Two measurement methods(laser scanning, photogrammetry) were compared in terms of accuracy and reality for the Rock-carved Standing Buddha in Singyeong-ri, Hongseong. With regard to accuracy, the distances of major points by both shape information and between the two shape information were compared. Only a deviation of about 1mm was found in the distance measurement of the major points by both shape information. In particular, the average distance between two shape information identified through aligning was only about 0.01mm. Also, the absolute deviation within about 2mm accounted for 70% of the total, and the absolute deviation within about 3.5mm was found to be 95.4% of the total. These values showed very high similarity between laser scanning and photogrammetry-based shape information. In respect of reality, the carved depth, texture, and patterns were compared. As a result of comparing four cross-sectional shapes, only slight differences were found in the shape information of both measurement techniques and similar shapes were identified. The overall texture of both shape information was also similar. However, the detailed shape based on the photogrammetry with decimation is realized with a smoother texture than the original and laser scanning. In particular, Photogrammetry also realistically expressed the various ornaments carved in the Rock-carved Buddha and the patterns with shallow depths were comparatively detailed.

In this study, items for forest policy and forest resource research in Austria, Japan, New Zealand, and Indonesia, which are major forest advanced countries, were investigated, and the applicability of point cloud data acquired through laser scanning was identified. Through the study, it was found that forest policies in developed countries are being pursued for the purpose of sustainable forest conservation and management, job creation, and timber productivity improvement, and that new technologies are being researched and applied to actual projects. Korea has a high proportion of forests compared to the national land area compared to major forestry developed countries, but the accumulation of trees is relatively low, so it is a time for scientific forest management to improve the accumulation of trees. To understand the applicability of laser scanning technology, a forest resource survey using point cloud data was conducted, and the diameter of breast height, height, number of trees per unit area were calculated, and the shape of the crown was identified. If field experiments and accuracy evaluations applying various laser scanning technologies are carried out in the future, it will be possible to present the quantitative improvement of forest resource survey using foil cloud.

Laser-generated ultrasonic inspection system is a non-contact scanning inspection device with high spatial resolution and wide bandwidth. The amplitude of laser-generated ultrasound is varied according to the energy of pulse laser and the surface conditions of an object where the CW measuring laser beam is pointing. In this paper, we correct the generating errors by measuring the energy of pulse laser beam and correct the measuring errors by extracting the gain information of laser interferometer at each time. h dynamic stabilizer is developed to stably scan on the surface of an object for an laser-generated ultrasonic inspection system. The developed system generates ultrasound after adaptively finding the maximum gain time of an laser interferometer and processes the signal in real time after digitization with high speed. In this paper, we describe hardware configuration and control algorithm to build a stable laser-generated ultrasonic inspection system. Also, we confirmed through experiments that the proposed correction method for the generating errors and measuring errors is effective to improve the performance of a system.

Nowadays 3D terrestrial laser scanners record high precision three-dimensional coordinates of numerous points on an object surface in a short period of time. So terrestrial laser scanner is applied to a wide variety of fields including geodesy, and civil engineering, archaeology and architecture, and emergency service and defence, etc. This study deals with the potential application of terrestrial laser scanner in the reconnaissance surveying. The results shows that terrestrial laser scanner is possible to extract the linear features and the positioning accuracy of objects measured by total station surveying is comparative to that by terrestrial laser scanner. Thereafter, it is expected that the potential applications of terrestrial laser scanning will be more increased by combining terrestrial laser scanners with airborne LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) and photogrammetric technology.

Most structures experience deterioration after construction. A routine inspection and maintenance must be accomplished for the efficient use of the structures. The routine inspection will play a major role on the determination of maintenance period and method. This study aims development of an automated tunnel inspection system based upon a 3 dimensional laser scanner. As for the initial stage of the project, a prototype tunnel scanner has been developed. The development of a tunnel scanner prototype follows comparison between image scanning and laser scanning system and investigation on the applicability and adaptivity of the scanners to the railway tunnel scanner. The applicability of the laser scanner on the railway tunnel has been confirmed from the pilot test by using commercialized general purpose close range laser scanner and applicability of a laser scanner as a railway tunnel scanner has been checked. From the result, a prototype of railway tunnel scanner has been built and the calibration of the system was carried out. Finally the developed tunnel laser scanner has been applied to different shapes and sizes of tunnels in use.

We report the characterization of a wavelength-swept laser (WSL) using a polygon-based wavelength scanning filter and two semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). The output intensity and scanning bandwidth of the WSL depend on the position of the two SOAs in the laser cavity and the coupling ratio of the output fiber coupler. The outputs of the WSL are characterized for coupling ratios of 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 90% for the output fiber coupler. In the setup in which the output fiber coupler is located between the two SOAs, high output power and wide scanning bandwidth can be achieved with an optimized configuration. Using the optimized configuration of the WSL, the intensity increases with the coupling ratio. These results can be used to construct an optimized WSL using the polygon-based wavelength scanning filter.

Over- and under-excavation are factors that increase construction cost of tunnels, which makes management essential. Total stations have been used for tunnel surveying because GNSS is difficult to use in tunnels. However, it takes much time to acquire data using total stations. In this study, a total station was integrated with a 3D laser scanner and used for tunnel surveying in Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do. The scanning total station reduced the work time compared to the conventional method. Furthermore, reports were effectively generated for overbreak and underbreak for each section and compared with the design. In addition, we could analyze both the cross section and scanned area effectively by using the scanning data. This method can improve the efficiency of tunnel surveying work by combining the advantages of a conventional total station and a 3D laser scanner.

In the present study, a parallel processing method running on a multi-core PC-Cluster is introduced to produce digital surface model (DSM) and digital terrain model (DTM) from huge airborne laser scanning data. A hybrid model using both message passing interface (MPI) and OpenMP was devised by revising a conventional MPI model which utilizes only MPI, and tested on a multi-core PC-Cluster for performance validation. In the results, the hybrid model has not shown better performances in the interpolation process to produce DSM, but the overall performance has turned out to be better by the help of reduced MPI calls. Additionally, scheduling function of OpenMP has revealed its ability to enhance the performance by controlling inequal overloads charged on cores induced by irregular distribution of airborne laser scanning data.

This paper presents the design and simulation of a three-dimensional pixel-by-pixel scanning light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system with a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) scanning mirror and direct sequence optical code division multiple access (DS-OCDMA) techniques. It measures a frame with $848{\times}480$ pixels at a refresh rate of 60 fps. The emitted laser pulse waves of each pixel are coded with DS-OCDMA techniques. The coded laser pulse waves include the pixel's position in the frame, and a checksum. The LIDAR emits the coded laser pulse waves periodically, without idle listening time to receive returning light at the receiver. The MEMS scanning mirror is used to deflect and steer the coded laser pulse waves to a specific target point. When all the pixels in a frame have been processed, the travel time is used by the pixel-by-pixel scanning LIDAR to generate point cloud data as the measured result.
