2.3 Deflection System 21AFigure 2.16: Different types <strong>of</strong> terrestrial laser scanners classified by field <strong>of</strong> view according to [Runne et al, 2001]:panorama scanner (left) <strong>and</strong> camera scanner (right).In the following,deflection unit.a distinction is madebetween a rotating beam deflection unit <strong>and</strong> an oscillating beamThe deflection <strong>of</strong> the laser beam implementedin laser scanners is<strong>of</strong>ten a combination <strong>of</strong> different de¬flection methods. The primary rotation is faster than the secondary rotation. Considering the panoramascanner, e.g. laser scanners <strong>of</strong> Callidus, Faro, Riegl, Zoller+Frohlich, the primary deflection is performed bya fast-rotating mirror. The secondary deflection involves a rotation <strong>of</strong> the completedeflection unit instead<strong>of</strong> rotating only the mirror. Appendix A shows the imaging system <strong>of</strong> the laser scanner ImagerZoller+Frohlich.5003 <strong>of</strong>2.3.1 Oscillating MirrorThe primary rotation is described by a mirror that oscillates about an axis. The samplinginterval is definedby the minimum increment <strong>of</strong> the encoder unit which causes the mirror to oscillate to the next position.The encoder position <strong>and</strong> the distance correspondrotation, the synchronisation is not as crucial as it is for the rotatingwith each other. Since the oscillation is not as fast as themirror. The combination <strong>of</strong> two oscilla¬tion mirrors deflects the laser beam in the desired directions. The vertical <strong>and</strong> horizontal sampling intervalsare defined by the minimum increment <strong>of</strong> the encoder controllingdrawbacks <strong>of</strong> oscillating mirrors are the limited field <strong>of</strong> view <strong>and</strong> the performancethe oscillations <strong>of</strong> the mirrors. The main<strong>of</strong> the deflection.Figure 2.17: Oscillating mirrors according to [Schlemmer, 2004].
