The size <strong>of</strong> the footprintsignificantly increases with a decreasing angle <strong>of</strong> incidence.The investigated laser scanner has a beam divergence <strong>of</strong> 0.22 mrad <strong>and</strong> defines the aperture anglemechanical system that generates the laser beam. Considering a spot<strong>of</strong> thesize <strong>of</strong> the laser beam <strong>of</strong> 3 mm ata distance <strong>of</strong> 1 m19, the projection <strong>of</strong> the laser beam on a slope surface depending on both the angle <strong>of</strong>incidence <strong>and</strong> the range, cf. Figure 3.38, can be developed. The smaller the angle <strong>of</strong> incidence, the largerthe size <strong>of</strong> the footprint. Considering angles <strong>of</strong> incidence <strong>of</strong> less than 30 °, the size <strong>of</strong> the spot is multipliedby a factor <strong>of</strong> 1.5 up to a factor <strong>of</strong> 4 in contrast to a laser beam hittingthe surface at a normal.15^90°reflectivity 90% (white)—70°—50°E 10E-30°10°**"',',*s*~*~~~*„.*»"•'«g=ÄÜ.-L--~'s*j,.-y"~'r~^~y,y,.-/ y**"*""''*",»» ^rf-"1*^- "**" ^^i---—. ~-„.~J"~~ ^^2^~S-*-10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50range [m]Figure 3.39: Influence <strong>of</strong> the angle <strong>of</strong> incidence to the distance precision regarding targets with a reflectivity <strong>of</strong> 90%(top) <strong>and</strong> with a reflectivity <strong>of</strong> 60% (bottom).'specification <strong>of</strong> the manufacturer
