The Calculation of Received Optical Power During Airborne Laser Scanning of Water Object

Abstract

In this paper calculation of some physical parameters of the receiver of laser scanning system is presented. Basic physical principles of laser scanning of water objects are considered. Ranging standard deviation for typical parameters of laser scanning system are calculated. Formula for calculation of reflected optical power for specular reflective objects is proposed.

Possible Testing of Geodetic Equipment Using the Methods of Mathematical Statistics

“…In cases where measurement errors do not follow standard distribution, it is not possible to use the Gaussian methods for their mathematical interpretation [Babushka et al 2014, Czaja 1996, Ney 1970.…”
