Utilizing a Terrestrial Laser Scanner for 3D Luminance Measurement of Indoor Environments.

We aim to present a method to measure 3D luminance point clouds by applying the integrated high dynamic range (HDR) panoramic camera system of a terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) instrument for performing luminance measurements simultaneously with laser scanning. We present the luminance calibration of a laser scanner and assess the accuracy, color measurement properties, and dynamic range of luminance measurement achieved in the laboratory environment. In addition, we demonstrate the 3D luminance measuring process through a case study with a luminance-calibrated laser scanner.
