Learning outcome
By the end of the semester students will gain the following knowledge which are the fundamentals of digitalization in construction business:
- Fundamentals of the scanning mechanism of the latest TLS instruments
- Different georeferencing methods
- The relevant industry standards
- Statistical methods for quality analysis of an acquired dataset.
By the end of the semester students will gain the following skills:
- Setting up, operating and calibrating TLS instruments
- Matching overlapping scanned datasets (registration and georeferencing)
- Basics of feature extraction and 3D modeling
- Detection of systematic and gross error in the dataset; statistical analysis and tests against given criteria
General competence:
- Hazard assessment of using TLS instruments
Learning methods and activities
- Lectures
- Project work

Further on evaluation
There will be 4 assignments to be turned in. Some will be handed in as groupwork, while others as individual work. All assignments must be passed.
The evaluation is based on oral exam (100%), with a specific focus on the student's ability to present and explain the method used for his/her projects, including explaining the theoretical underpinnings. A detailed description of the requirements for choosing a project will be given at the start of the course. A project description must be approved by the instructor before work gets underway.
A re-sit examination is held in March.
