The methods are the following: indentations, direct projection, double-edged method, polar method with the option of mirrorless measurement. At the moment a very practical and quick measurement technology, signifi cantly eliminating the influence of human errors on the observation results, is laser scanning. The article presents the results of the scanning of 120-metres high reinforced concrete industrial chimney of the Cement Plant „Ożarów”, with the application of modern scanning total station VX Spatial Station by Trimble, as an alternative to the methods applied so far. The advantage of scanning is the possibility to obtain a point cloud, which, apart from the information on the course of the chimney axis in the space, provides detail information on the real shape and deformations of the coating of the object’s core.}, doi = {}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/geoinformatica-polonica/article/the-inventory-of-high-objects-applying-laser-scanning-focus-on-the-cataloguing-a-reinforced-concrete-industrial-chimney} }
