Estandarización del flujo de trabajo en levantamientos topográficos con escáner láser para la generación de productos topográficos

Abstract

The internship yielded technical and methodological results related to the proposed objectives and activities defined in the work plan. These results were obtained through the practical application of the Trimble X7 scanner in a real-world work environment, as well as through the analysis and systematization of the processes used during the acquisition, processing, and generation of topographic products. The main outcome was the development of a standardized workflow for topographic surveys using the Trimble X7 laser scanner. This workflow systematically integrates the phases of field data capture, point cloud processing, and topographic product generation. This protocol reduces coverage errors and improves consistency across projects. Regarding the first specific objective, a technical protocol for field data capture was developed. This protocol establishes the scanner's operating parameters, criteria for scene location, recommended configurations, and practical considerations to ensure adequate coverage and quality of the collected information. This protocol is exclusively for the Trimble X7 laser scanner and does not include external georeferencing processes performed with other technologies. Regarding the second objective, a structured procedure was developed for processing the point cloud, which sequentially documents the activities of recording, splicing, filtering, and colorization using Trimble Perspective and Trimble RealWorks software. This procedure allows for consistent replication of the office process, facilitating quality control and the identification of potential errors during processing. In fulfillment of the third objective, a model was proposed to showcase the topographic products that can be generated from the processed point cloud. This model does not establish a mandatory sequence of steps for its creation, as multiple technical approaches exist depending on the software, the type of project, and the client's requirements
