A novel hand-held laser-based stream bed survey system is presented. The system facilitates the capture of detailed 3D mapping of shallow (< 0.78201;m) riverbed topography in sections approximately 48201;m by 28201;m. The system includes a stationary reference system, which projects three laser sheets (two at offset angles), within which a hand-held monitoring pole is moved. The unique configuration of the light sheets intercepts with the pole as it moves within the survey are...A novel hand-held laser-based stream bed survey system is presented. The system facilitates the capture of detailed 3D mapping of shallow (< 0.78201;m) riverbed topography in sections approximately 48201;m by 28201;m. The system includes a stationary reference system, which projects three laser sheets (two at offset angles), within which a hand-held monitoring pole is moved. The unique configuration of the light sheets intercepts with the pole as it moves within the survey area providing an exact horizontal location. Pole tilt is compensated for by an inertial measurement unit on the pole, and the height above the bed of the pole and submerged scanning laser are monitored relative to the horizontal laser sheet. Verification and application measurements demonstrate high resolution and accuracy in the horizontal (~5 mm) and vertical (~1 mm) direction. The system can be applied at sites where a free view is blocked and other optical through-water methods fail. It is appropriate for studies on riverbed statistics and dynamics, which necessitate non-invasive in-situ surveys. Copyright Oc 2017 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.» weiterlesen» einklappen
