Abstract

When conducting 3D Scans with professional terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) like the Faro Focus Series \cite{FAROFOCUS}, the resulting models will be rich in details. However since the setup and processing procedures take some time, perfect scanner placement is crucial to reduce the number of scans while maximizing the scan area. Contrary to prior research in this field \cite{WAKISAKA2017}, this guided research targets indoor rooms in general, without focusing on a specific type, like factory rooms. For this purpose, the previously published process was re-implemented and tested while using the Lidar Scanner of a Microsoft HoloLens 2 \cite{ungureanu2020hololens, MICROSOFT_AZURE_SCANNER2018} for the initial model acquisition. This research evaluates this method of optimizing TLS scanner placements for indoor modeling purposes and proposes further steps for optimizing this process.
