Terrestrial 3D Laser Scanning and Its Application for Survey and Reconstruction into Traffic Accident Scenes

Terrestrial 3D laser scanning (TLS) technology was here reviewed into its progressional development and application scenarios, with the relevant technical principles and operation procedures being briefly elucidated. Further, TLS technology was therewith divided into different applications so as for traffic accidents to be able to tackle adequately. Through the detailed looking-up about TLS latest researches and exampling implementations, an exploration was tried to carry out for traffic accidents to be surveyed and reconstructed under the on-going requirements, with the discussion being made about the current problems and future development directions, too.
