    Abstract: A technique is provided to enable check of calibrated condition of a total station (TS) having a laser scanner at a surveying site. The TS includes an optical system, a laser positioning part, a plane equation calculator, a laser scanner, a separation amount calculator, and an exterior orientation parameter calculator. The laser positioning part emits laser light on an object via the optical system to position the object. The plane equation calculator calculates an equation of a specific plane on the basis of result from the laser positioning part. The laser scanner scans the specific plane with laser light to obtain scanning points. The separation amount calculator calculates a separation amount of the respective scanning points from the specific plane. The exterior orientation parameter calculator calculates exterior orientation parameters of one or both of the laser positioning part and the laser scanner so that the separation amount will be small.

    Abstract: A surveying device body includes a distance measuring section to measure a distance to the measurement target, an optical axis deflector that deflects distance measuring light with respect to a reference optical axis, a measurement direction imaging section that obtains an observation image, and an attitude detector that detects an incline of the surveying device body. A computation controller displays a portion of the observation image on the display unit, computes a direction angle of the distance measuring optical axis on the basis of a detection result of the attitude detector and a deflection angle of the distance measuring optical axis with respect to the reference optical axis, and measures the measurement target on the basis of the direction angle and a distance measurement result of the distance measuring section using a reference point as a reference.

    Abstract: A wavelength-swept light source is configured to generate light to be measured that is wavelength-swept coherent light with a wavelength periodically changed. The light to be measured is separated into a measurement section and a reference section that have different optical path lengths, and is then coupled in an interference section to generate interfering light. An analyzer performs a Fourier transform of interference signals of the interfering light, and acquires an actual measured noise floor value for each of the optical path length differences based on a point spread function. An estimated coherence time is determined so that an actual measured amplitude value of the noise floor value and a calculated amplitude value coincide with each other. Linewidth of the light emitted from the coherent light source is measured based on the estimated coherence time.

    Abstract: Provided is an electro-optical distance meter includes a light transmitting unit configured to emit distance-measuring light along a collimation axis toward a measuring object; a light receiving unit including a light receiving element configured to receive reflected distance-measuring light and convert the reflected distance-measuring light into a distance-measuring signal, and a received light amount adjuster configured to adjust a light amount entering the light receiving element; an arithmetic control unit; and a storage unit. The arithmetic control unit calculates a true distance-measuring signal by subtracting an optical noise signal stored in advance in the storage unit and an electrical noise signal measured before a distance measurement from the distance-measuring signal, and calculates a distance to the measuring object based on the true distance-measuring signal.

    Abstract: In measurement using infrared images that are obtained by nighttime aerial photography, a correspondence relationship between the infrared images is determined with high accuracy by the following method. In this method, agricultural land is photographed from the air at night by using an infrared camera mounted on a UAV. In the state in which multiple infrared light emitting points are installed on agricultural land, the agricultural land is photographed multiple times by the infrared camera while the UAV flies at night in such a manner that a part of the agricultural land is commonly contained in multiple infrared photographic images. Then, a correspondence relationship between the multiple infrared photographic images is determined by using bright points of the infrared light emitting points in the part of the agricultural land commonly contained in the infrared photographic images.
