Laser Scanning Monitoring

While various monitoring techniques have been used to measure the displacement of infrastructure, it is not possible to install sensors at all locations of large structures.

The group applies laser scanning technology as a displacement measurement technique for infrastructure. A three-dimensional point cloud can be collected by the laser scanning and allow for the analysis of displacements of the entire infrastructure. Laser scanning has a low accuracy in the range of millimeters, but the group is improving accuracy by CANUPO, a machine learning method, P2P-TA, etc. as well as via conventional point cloud analysis methods.
