The scanner software creates a mesh based on the surface scan. The measuring point distance
is 0.05 mm. There is a main disadvantage of working with a structural light scanner: dark
zones on the concrete surface are not detected. As a result there are large and substantial
number of holes of varying size in the mesh. But the ATOS software, with its post processing
software GOM Inspect, has “closed the holes” based on the meshing interpolation procedure.
A preliminary comparison between mechanical and ATOS measurements on samples No.1
and No.2 shows 0.039 mm for both. Hence ATOS can be used to measure concrete-ice
abrasion, with appropriate use of the GOM inspect software procedures including the closing
of holes and numerical procedures for creating reference planes in the unabraded and abraded
zones (Shamsutdinova, et al., 2015).
