Abstract
A scanning surveying system includes a base, an alidade mounted on the base an rotatable relative to the base about a first axis, a first motor that can rotate the alidade relative to the base, a rotating optical element coupled to the alidade and rotatable relative to the alidade about a second axis, a second motor that can rotate the rotating optical element relative to the base, an optical distance measuring unit, a sensor that can detect a motion of the scanning surveying system, and a controller. The controller can control the optical distance measuring unit (i) to perform stationary scanning operations and (ii) to automatically execute mobile scanning operations in response to a detection of motion of the scanning surveying system by the sensor. The controller can also register point cloud data from the stationary scanning operations and/or the mobile scanning operations.
