Abstract
Adoption of 3D imaging systems is on the rise, with the global market expected to exceed $450 million by 2016. As the claimed performance approaches that of tactile probing systems, an increasing number of users are expected to invest in high-accuracy and high-speed noncontact systems, particularly as the cost of these noncontact systems has decreased significantly. To address the lack of published standards for 3D imaging systems, the National Research Council of Canada (NRCC) has been working closely with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on the ASTM E57 committee to develop two standards to evaluate the performance of medium-range (2 m to 150 m) light detection and ranging (LiDAR) systems. This article presents an overview of work completed to date by the WK12373 (relative range error) and WK431218 (volumetric error) working groups and, in particular, present the results of experiments conducted at the NRCC in support of this work.
