Modelling of natural slopes and earthen constructions monitored by scanning technology

Scanning performance effect depends both on technical parameters of scanner and advancement of data processing procedures. Accuracy and reliability of model depends on grid density and edge identification efficiency. As visualisation purposes and architectonic designing need models different from ones used in structural analysis a working out the 3D model needs consideration of construction characteristics and exploitation as well as model application. The authors prove this thesis by presentation and analysis of two earthen objects viz. natural slope and geotechnical construction monitored by scanning tacheometry technology.
