    Abstract: A system for 3D surveying of an environment by an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has two lidar devices. A reference unit has a first and a second marker in a spatially fixed arrangement. An automatic detection of the first marker is carried out for a coordinative measurement by the first lidar device to determine relative position data for providing relative position information of the first marker with respect to the first lidar device. The relative position data and spatial 3D information is used for an automatic detection and a coordinative measurement of the second marker by the second lidar device. The coordinative measurements are used for a referencing of lidar data of the UGV lidar device and lidar data of the UAV lidar device with respect to a common coordinate system.
