Comparison of building scanning methods

Abstract

Surveying of buildings can be done digitally/by digitizing. The current technology offers various scanning options and methods. This paper concentrates on scanning of buildings by means of three different scanning methods. By comparing them, final point clouds can be optimized. The result of this scientific work is an evaluation of the most efficient scanning method in terms of time, cost as well as quality. In conclusion, practical guidance is presented for selecting the most appropriate scanning method for specific types of buildings.
