Surveying apparatus and method of analyzing measuring data
First Claim
1. A method of analyzing measuring data, the method comprising:
- inputting measuring data from a measuring device, the measuring data comprising a set of data values representing features of an object;
performing a recognition method on at least a subset of the data values for determining first parameters of a geometric shape element representing at least a portion of a feature of the object;
eliminating outliers from the set of data values, the outliers having a distance from the shape element having the determined first parameters greater than a first threshold; and
performing a first regression analysis on a set of remaining data values not including the outliers, for determining second parameters of the geometric shape element such that the shape element having the second parameters is a better representation of the portion of the at least one feature of the object than the shape element having the first parameters.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to a method for minimizing the influence of disturbing signals during calculation of shape elements from coordinate points. An aim of the embodiments of the invention is to exclude the coordinates which are not to be locally assigned to the desired shaped element from the calculation of the shaped element. Said aim is achieved by combining compensation methods for calculating the desired type of shaped element with recognition methods for the same type of shaped element and using the recognition methods for filtering the coordinate points that are relevant for calculating the shaped element out of all input coordinate points.
