In many three-dimensional (3-D) laser scanner applications, high relative precision (relative dimensions within the registered point cloud) is sufficient; in contrast, highway infrastructure (HI) applications require good relative precision and high absolute accuracy. Thus, precise and robust georeferencing is critical, and robust work flows are needed to reduce the likelihood and impact of human errors. HI applications have a fairly unique combination of challenges, including longer-range requirements, long linear geometry for complete jobs, tall structures, and dark pavement scanned at a high incidence angle. These factors motivate standardized protocols and metrics to characterize and evaluate scanner performance and to develop confidence limits for the scanner data in such applications. The primary contribution in this study is a set of standard test protocols for the characterization and evaluation of 3-D laser scanner performance that users can conduct in easily accessible facilities. These evaluations focus on issues significant in HI survey applications, work flows, and data flows. An example performance evaluation is provided for several commercially available 3-D laser scanners. This study provides the needed scientific basis for data-driven deployment of this valuable measurement tool in HI applications. It also provides recommendations and guidelines that will promote consistent and correct use of 3-D laser scanners. The guidelines clarify the common limitations of 3-D laser scanners and recommend mitigation methods; this information will help engineers and surveyors to select the right scanner and determine optimum scanning settings for highway applications.
