Terrestrial laser scanning is finding an increasing range of applications in the Architectural Engineering Construction and Facilities Management (AEC/FM) industry. While significant progress has been made in the performance of laser scanners and multi-scan registration, planning for scanningi.e. the selection of locations for the scanner and registration targetsis still done quite subjectively by surveyors and is underpinned by little and basic scientific reasoning. This may lead to 3D point cloud data being incomplete or insufficiently accurate to deliver the completeness and accuracy expected from the subsequent measurement or modelling tasks.
