Laser scanning for monitoring transport infrastructure facilities

The article examines laser scanning, which is used in monitoring transport infrastructure facilities. The application of this method is described. It is used if infrastructure objects have cultural significance or complex shapes that preclude contact application of marks for monitoring. Laser monitoring is considered as one of the types of geomonitoring. The main functions of monitoring transport infrastructure facilities are described. The content of the geomonitoring technological scheme is revealed. The location of laser scanning in this diagram is shown. The article introduces the term "laser monitoring". The advantages and disadvantages of laser monitoring are shown. Unlike geodetic laser monitoring, it is widespread. The article reveals the principles and content of laser measurements. The pulse method of measurements and the phase method of distance measurements are considered. A diagram is given and the content of the technology for working with laser measurements is disclosed.
