In practice, to address distance-related accuracy issues with 3D laser scanning, we implement a calibration procedure that adjusts for distance variations. By performing a series of scans at different distances and comparing results with known measurements, we refine the scanner settings and apply correction factors. We also use overlapping scans to ensure consistency and integrated software tools to adjust for any detected discrepancies, ensuring accurate results across varying distances. What strategies have others used to address similar accuracy challenges in 3D laser scanning?
