Continuously deformation monitoring of subway tunnel based on terrestrial point clouds

The deformation monitoring of subway tunnel is of extraordinary necessity. Therefore, a method for deformation monitoring based on terrestrial point clouds is proposed in this paper. First, the traditional adjacent stations registration is replaced by sectioncontrolled registration, so that the common control points can be used by each station...

Automatic Registration of Terrestrial Laser Scanning Point Clouds using Panoramic Reflectance Images

This paper presents a new approach to the automatic registration of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) point clouds using panoramic reflectance images. The approach follows a two-step procedure that includes both pair-wise registration and global registration. The pair-wise registration consists of image matching (pixel-to-pixel correspondence)...

New point matching algorithm for panoramic reflectance images

Much attention is paid to registration of terrestrial point clouds nowadays. Research is carried out towards improved efficiency and automation of the registration process. The most important part of registration is finding correspondence. The panoramic reflectance images are generated according to the angular coordinates and reflectance value...
