Error Analysis of Terrestrial Laser Scanning Data by Means of Spherical Statistics and 3D Graphs

This paper presents a complete analysis of the positional errors of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data based on spherical statistics and 3D graphs. Spherical statistics are preferred because of the 3D vectorial nature of the spatial error. Error vectors have three metric elements (one module and...
