Laser scanning is an emerging technology used on construction sites for defect detection and progress monitoring. Most previous studies in this domain use data from a single scanner while discussing various data collection, processing and accuracy analysis strategies. With the purpose of comparing the tech-nical characteristics of two scanners and identifying the challenges of using them on construction sites, we conducted a case study on indoor laser-scanning of one floor of a five-storey commercial building in Pitts-burgh/PA/USA during its construction. The two scanners used in this study adopt two different positioning techniques: pulsed-time-of-flight (obtaining the distance to an object by timing the round-trip traveling-time of the laser) and amplitude-modulated-continuous-wave (comparing the phases of emitted and received sig-nals for indirect measurements of laser traveling time). For each tested scanner, we highlight its unique ad-vantages and technical challenges, as well as relevant technical trade-offs regarding their utilization on a con-struction-site for quality control and progress monitoring purposes.

Optimal design of sparse mimo arrays for wideband near-field imaging based on a statistical framework Kocamış, Mehmet Burak; Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) Wideband near-field imaging is an emerging remote sensing technique in various applications such as airport security, surveillance, medical diagnosis, and through-wall imaging. Recently, there has been increasing interest in using sparse multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) arrays to achieve high resolution with reduced hardware complexity and cost. In this thesis, based on a statistical framework, an optimal design method is presented for two-dimensional MIMO arrays in wideband near-field imaging. Differe...
Terahertz (>0.3THz) active imaging systems İdikut, Fırat; Altan, Hakan; Department of Physics (2016) Imaging systems based on terahertz waves are becoming an integral part of commercial and military screening applications. In this thesis, the prototype of active scan THz imaging system was constructed for detection of concealed objects at standoff distance longer than 5m. The system was mounted on a platform that can adjust in height, tilt and azimuthal angle. The methods of generation and detection of THz signal are based on Schottky diode rectifiers and Schottky diode mixers. The wavelength of the contin...
Comparison of 3D local and global descriptors for similarity retrieval of range data Bayramoglu, Neslihan; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2016-04-05) Recent improvements in scanning technologies such as consumer penetration of RGB-D cameras lead obtaining and managing range image databases practical. Hence, the need for describing and indexing such data arises. In this study, we focus on similarity indexing of range data among a database of range objects (range-to-range retrieval) by employing only single view depth information. We utilize feature based approaches both on local and global scales. However, the emphasis is on the local descriptors with the...
Performance evaluation of similarity measures for dense multimodal stereovision Yaman, Mustafa; Kalkan, Sinan (SPIE-Intl Soc Optical Eng, 2016-05-01) Multimodal imaging systems have recently been drawing attention in fields such as medical imaging, remote sensing, and video surveillance systems. In such systems, estimating depth has become possible due to the promising progress of multimodal matching techniques. We perform a systematic performance evaluation of similarity measures frequently used in the literature for dense multimodal stereovision. The evaluated measures include mutual information (MI), sum of squared distances, normalized cross-correlat...
Characterization of a terahertz wave scanned imaging system for threat detection at standoff distances YILDIRIM, İBRAHİM SONER; ÖZKAN, VEDAT ALİ; Idikut, Firat; Takan, Taylan; ŞAHİN, ASAF BEHZAT; Altan, Hakan (2016-07-01) A terahertz active scanned imaging system is developed in order to acquire images of various targets at stand-off distances. The images are analyzed with respect to the experimentally obtained beam profile at the target plane using a commercially available mm-wave/terahertz camera. The active scanning system utilizes a heterodyne, continuous wave transceiver unit operating at 340 GHz and 2-D opto-mechanical scanning of the target plane is performed using two large area mirror coupled galvanometers. 340 GHz ...
