Due to improved laser scanning technology, laser scanner based deformation analyses are
presently widespread. These deformation analyses are no longer based on individual points …

Weather conditions and different operational loads often cause changes in essential parts of
engineering structures, and this affects the static and dynamic behavior and reliability of …

As laser scanning technology has improved a lot in recent years, terrestrial laser scanners
(TLS) have become popular devices for surveying tasks with high accuracy demands, such …

In times of steadily increasing traffic loads and extreme weather phenomena, the safe
maintenance of infrastructure poses a difficult challenge to operators, especially when a vast …

Building information modeling (BIM) represents significant progress in the field of
digitalization and informatization of the construction process. The virtual model (BIM model) …

Terrestrisches Laserscanning wird in der Praxis bereits vielfach zur flächenhaften
Bestimmung von Bauwerksdeformationen genutzt. Es gibt jedoch kaum Ansätze zu strenger …

Terrestrial laser scanning was used for deformation monitoring of structures and
geoscientific objects already at an early stage of its employment for engineering geodetic …

Terrestrial laser scanner measurements suffer from systematic errors due to internal
misalignments. The magnitude of the resulting errors in the point cloud in many cases …

For accurate astronomic and geodetic observations based on radio telescopes, the
elevation-dependent deformation of the radio telescopes' main reflectors should be known …

This chapter describes the theory and the individual operational steps and components
needed to carry out geodetic and astrometric Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) …
