Monitoring tunnel profiles is constantly one of the major routines when long-term tunnel
stability is to be evaluated. Among many modern 3-D measurement techniques, the Light …

Stockpile volume estimation plays a critical role in several industrial/commercial bulk
material management applications. LiDAR systems are commonly used for this task. Thanks …

Collecting precise as-built data is essential for tracking construction progress. Three-
dimensional models generated from such data capture the as-is conditions of the structures …

Fully automatic 3-D point cloud registration is a highly challenging task in light detection and
ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing. The coherent point drift (CPD) algorithm provides an …

Summary Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) has been suggested as a remote sensing
tool for condition monitoring of structures. The laser‐generated point cloud data contains 3 …

Lidar-based 3D tree reconstruction enables the retrieval of detailed tree structure; however,
many existing methods are based on high-density discrete return lidar datasets. In this …

Acquiring 3D data with LiDAR systems involves scanning multiple scenes from different
points of view. In actual systems, the ICP algorithm (Iterative Closest Point) is commonly …

This paper presents a closed-form procedure for the coarse registration of three-dimensional
(3D) point clouds using automatically extracted linear features, which have been manually …

Affine transformation that allows the axis-specific rotations and scalars to capture the more
transformation details has been extensively applied in a variety of geospatial fields. In …
