How Significant Are Differences Obtained by Neglecting Correlations When Testing for Deformation: A Real Case Study Using Bootstrapping with Terrestrial Laser Scanner Observations Approximated by B-Spline Surfaces

B-spline surfaces possess attractive properties such as a high degree of continuity or the local support of their basis functions. One of the major applications of B-spline surfaces in engineering geodesy is the least-square (LS) fitting of surfaces from, e.g., 3D point clouds obtained from terrestr...
