    Abstract: A technique for enabling efficient surveying operation that uses a light-reflecting target is provided. A surveying apparatus is configured to survey a reflecting prism and includes a controller, a surface calculator, and a position calculator. The controller performs positioning on three or more points on the set-up surface on which the reflecting prism is set up, by using laser light. The surface calculator calculates a plane of the set-up surface based on the positioning data of the three or more points in a case in which the position of the reflecting prism is surrounded by the three or more points in terms of a horizontal plane. The position calculator calculates a point of intersection of the plane and a straight line from the position of the reflecting prism to the plane, as a position on the set-up surface, at which the reflecting prism is set up.

    Abstract: A non-destructive inspection system includes: a neutron emission unit 12 capable of emitting neutrons pulsed; a neutron detector capable of detecting the neutrons emitted from the neutron emission unit and penetrating through an inspection object; a storage unit storing attenuation information indicating a relationship between a material of the inspection object and attenuation of the neutrons; and a calculation unit capable of calculating distance information indicating a position of a specific portion in the inspection object in accordance with time change information which is information on a change over time in an amount of the neutrons detected by the neutron detector. The calculation unit is capable of generating information related to an amount of the specific portion from information based on the amount of the neutrons according to the time change information, using the distance information and the attenuation information.

    Abstract: Scanning density of laser scanning is increased at low cost. A laser scanning apparatus includes a vertical rotation unit and a controller. The vertical rotation unit emits pulses of laser scanning light. The controller controls emission of pulses of the laser scanning light. Assuming that a symbol “n” is a natural number of one or more, the controller controls so that a position in a rotation direction of emission of pulses of the laser scanning light for (n+1)th rotation of the vertical rotation unit will be different from that for nth rotation of the vertical rotation unit.

    Abstract: A surveying system includes a target unit having a reflection target and an encoder pattern showing an angle of the target unit; a scanner configured to acquire three-dimensional point cloud data, measured coordinates of the target, and optically read the encoder pattern to acquire an encoder pattern read angle; and a leveling base configured to selectively allow either of the target unit and the scanner to be removably mounted. The scanner calculates a direction angle of the leveling base based on the encoder pattern read angle and the offset angle of the target unit, calculates coordinates of an installation point of the target unit based on the measured coordinates of the target and the direction angle of the target, and calculates a direction angle of the scanner based on the offset angle of the scanner and the direction angle of the leveling base on which the scanner is mounted.

    Abstract: One aspect example is a system for photogrammetry of a building. A memory stores design data and physical material data. The design data includes virtual material information on attributes for each of virtual materials of a virtual building. The physical material data is on the attributes for each of physical materials and generated based on measured data acquired from a physical building constructed on the basis of the design data. A material associating processor is configured to generate pairs of virtual and physical materials by determining an association between the virtual materials and the physical materials based on the virtual material information and the physical material data. An attribute associating processor is configured to determine an association between the virtual material information and the physical material data in accordance with the attributes for each of the pairs.

    Abstract: The light wave distance meter is disclosed, including: a distance measuring light-emitting unit; a light-receiving signal generating unit; and a control arithmetic unit. A light-receiving signal includes a first intermittent light-receiving signal corresponding to a first distance measuring light, a second intermittent light-receiving signal corresponding to a second distance measuring light, a third intermittent light-receiving signal corresponding to a third distance measuring light, and a fourth intermittent light-receiving signal corresponding to a fourth distance measuring light. The control arithmetic unit executes an error determination control to acquire a shift signal generated by shifting at least a phase of any one of the first to fourth intermittent light-receiving signals by 2π·n−π/2 or 2π·n+π/2, and compares the phase of the shift signal and the phase of the intermittent light-receiving signal at least between either the first frequencies or between the second frequencies.
