Inaccuracies in point cloud data can arise from several factors: Laser Scanner Limitations: Even the best laser scanners have a maximum accuracy level that depends on the measurement distance. For instance, errors can be around +/- 1mm per 10 meters of distance. Registration Failures: The process of aligning and merging point clouds can lead to inaccuracies if the initial alignment is improper or if there is insufficient overlap between scans. Error Propagation: Combining multiple point cloud scans can accumulate errors. For example, if each scan has an error of +/- 1mm, the total error can increase with each additional scan.
