    Abstract: Reselection of an instrument point due to limited emission range of scanning laser light is performed with decreased burden. A total station equipped with a laser scanner has a combined structure of a total station and a laser scanner. The total station equipped with the laser scanner includes a point cloud data acquiring unit, a distance acquiring unit, and an instrument point calculator. The point cloud data acquiring unit acquires point cloud data that is obtained in laser scanning performed by the laser scanner set up at a first instrument point. The distance acquiring unit acquires a distance to the laser scanner of each point in the point cloud data. The instrument point calculator calculates a location of a second instrument point on the basis of an upper limit of the distance.

    Abstract: Effects of multiple reflections in distance measurement using a laser are reduced. A surveying method for measuring a distance to a reflection point that reflects distance measuring light, based on emission and reception of the distance measuring light, includes assuming that a symbol “K” represents a natural number, excluding zero, and determining whether a beam that is received after the (K+1)th light emission is a repeatedly reflected beam of light that has been emitted before the (K+1)th light emission. The beam that is received, after the (K+1)th light emission, at a time corresponding to a period based on a time interval from light emission at or before the Kth light emission until first reception of a beam related to the light emission at or before the Kth light emission, is determined as being the repeatedly reflected beam.
