Inconvenients
Only distance and angle
measurement
Work disruptive
Monochromatic – Requires
calibration & training – Limited
density - Price
Low precision – Indoor only –
Proximity to the scene
Not real time
Level of information
Low: distances & angles
High: 3D point clouds
Very High: colored point cloud
(textured mesh)
Very high: georeferenced
textured mesh ( 3D colored
point clouds, DSMs,
Orthophotos)
