Terrestrial laser scanning as a tool to support monitoring hydrotechnical objects with regard to water dam in Rożnów

Monitoring and diagnostics of hydrotechnical objects provide knowledge about technical condition of the object. The main purpose of the evaluation process is to determine the technical condition at a certain time of use, by defining its stability and security. Technical diagnosis , defined as a set of methods and means to assess the causes, evolution and consequences of given set of technical facility, is a technical system. In the case of dams, monitoring and diagnostics based on active systems, deliberately designed , generating and processing information that are the basis for the assessment of their technical condition . In this article we present the opportunity to enrich the technical monitoring system of water dams by the technology of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) . Terrestrial laser scanning is a device metrology , which in a non-contact measures the object and saves it in the form of an oriented point cloud . The analysis of the technical system, supported by TLS technology was conducted with regard to water dam in Rożnów. ...
