Description
Summary:The application of three-dimensional laser scanning technology in the field of tunnel deformation monitoring has changed the traditional measurement method. It provides an automated and intelligent solution for monitoring the geometric deformation of tunnel sections due to its high efficiency and independence from environmental influences. In this paper, based on B-spline fitting and iterative nearest point (ICP) alignment, the calculation of the difference between the radial distance and the design radius of a tunnel is transformed into a curve transformation that iterates over the nearest-neighbor points and calculates the difference in the distance between the corresponding points. The innovation of this paper is that the high-precision tunnel deformation monitoring method integrating B-spline fitting and ICP alignment can automatically compensate for the missing point clouds, is not affected by the point clouds of the tunnel inner and outer liner appendages, is more sensitive in the local deformation feedback and can be applied to a variety of tunnel shapes. The results indicate that our method maximally improves the accuracy of the horizontal convergence calculation by 28.6 mm and the accuracy of the vault settlement by 27.8 mm in comparison with the least squares circle fitting algorithm.
