The edge effect is a measurement error resulting from the reflection of the laser beam on the adjacent walls, or by its breaking on the edges. Coordinates of points in such cases are determined by averaging the measurements in several areas, resulting in their incorrect positioning in space. Corner points are determined with the same accuracy as the other (flat) elements of the scanned object. This effect is frequently mentioned in publications, which typically state the reasons and mechanisms of the error thus occurred. However, there is a lack of specific examples, showing the impact of the edge effect on the quality and accuracy of geodetic and cartographic reports. In this paper, the authors present sample case studies of the 2D and 3D representation of the test object. The selected corner elements, as well as the vector elements fitted into a cloud of points, show the discrepancy between the breaking points in the drawing (model), and the curved surface of the point cloud. On the basis of the known geometry of the building, distances were determined between the corner points and their representatives on the cloud. In this way, we were able to determine the accuracy of corner points’ presentation by means of the cloud of points, and therefore, we were able to determine the size of the edge effect in specific cases.
