In this research, we propose a low-cost 3D laser scanner for civil engineering and construction fields using robot technology. This system consists of a low-cost 2D laser scanner, a rotating table and an actuator, a total station, an automatic level, a tripod, and several corner mirrors. By rotating the 2D laser scanner which is detachable from the total station and the tripod around a vertical axis, 3D range information can be acquired at arbitrary positions owing to its portability. Scanning positions are precisely identified with the total station in a same manner with a geographical surveying. Thus this system is easy to use for workers who are used to dealing with surveying instruments. This paper reports some experimental results carried out in vast garden.
