What is it about?

The paper is aimed at presentation of the results obtained in the process of designing, constructing, and experimental testing of the laser measurement system based on the 2D laser scanner of the LD-OEM1000 type in road applications. This work aims to create a 3D model with the surface of real objects, for example, a 3D model of the interior and exterior of buildings, tunnels, roads, or road surrounding areas. For that purpose, we have developed a mobile measurement platform. It consists of two lasers scanners, seven cameras, a GPS receiver, a server, switch, and UPS. The angular range of the first laser scanner is 360 degrees and the distance which we can measure is about 250m. We use this scanner to measure the surrounding environment. The second scanner is used for more precise measurement. Its angular range is 70 degrees and its measurement range is about 2.4 m. To calculate a cloud of points we use our algorithm based on our equations. For visualization, we use *.obj file type which may be open in many programs. The algorithm for surface creation is based on finding the nearest point. To find the nearest point, the algorithm uses distance and axis difference between points. From these data, the algorithm can create the surface.
