The paper deals with the evaluation of data collected by scanning the agricultural surface with a 3D Photonic Mixer Device (PMD) camera with IFM company electronics and a resolution of 64 × 50 pixels in different scanning modes. After short introduction various methods of measuring of soil surface characteristics are presented. These methods are laser, photogrammetric and radar measurement followed by experimental measurement by kinect system and O3D201 3D camera using the Photonic Mixer Device (PMD) technology. For 3D calibration measurements of the camera a quartered pyramid model was used. Measurement results before and after the field testing area soil tillage are presented.

Keywords: PMD sensor; picture; model; soil roughness; measurement
