Abstract
Reselection of an instrument point, due to the limited emission range of a scanning laser light, is performed with decreased burden. A total station equipped with a laser scanner has a combined structure of a total station and a laser scanner. The total station equipped with the laser scanner includes a point cloud data acquiring unit, a distance acquiring unit, and an instrument point calculator. The point cloud data acquiring unit acquires point cloud data that is obtained through laser scanning performed by the laser scanner set up at a first instrument point. The distance acquiring unit acquires a distance to the laser scanner of each point in the point cloud data. The instrument point calculator calculates a location of a second instrument point on the basis of an upper limit of the distance.
