Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) is a technique characterized by high data acquisition efficiency and level of detail. However, a lot of information contained in the LiDAR point cloud is only implicitly available. Therefore, in order to create a digital topographic map from a large quantity of MLS survey data, it is necessary to define a methodology that requires a combination of various software tools. In general, the applied methodology mainly depends on the final product specifications (data model, accuracy, level of detail, etc.). This paper describes the standard methodology of creating a detailed digital topographic map using data collected by MLS, which proved to be two times faster than the conventional methods (total station or GNSS survey).
