Determination of Deformations of a High-Capacity Tank Using the Technology of Terrestrial Laser Scanning

Abstract The paper deals with the use of terrestrial laser scanning for a special industrial application, namely the determination of a deformation extent of high-capacity tank. Due to the fact that this technology can be characterized by a high speed of spatial data collection and high accuracy, we used it to determine deformations of the high-capacity tank of aromatics -oil, which was damaged in premises of the refinery in Eastern Slovakia. Calculations of deformation were performed using the CloudCompare software
