Abstract
Construction sites with deep excavation in urban areas can induce ground deformation, potentially harming nearby infrastructure. Therefore, monitoring construction sites is crucial. Typically, a sidewalk is located adjacent to the construction site, and ground deformation can cause the displacement of paving blocks. Accurate measurement of paving block displacement and cracks is essential. This paper proposes an efficient automated detection and measurement method using a 3D laser line sensor on Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), emphasizing online measurement capabilities. The method involves two steps: detecting target objects via 2D projection from 3D point cloud data and measuring object features by reducing unnecessary data with the Clustered Piecewise Linear Fitting (CPLF) algorithm. This two-step process enhances parallelism between edge servers and devices, thereby reducing total processing time. Prototype implementation and experiments show that our method achieves low errors of accuracy and is suitable for automated online detection and measurement on UGVs.
期刊介绍:
Automation in Construction is an international journal that focuses on publishing original research papers related to the use of Information Technologies in various aspects of the construction industry. The journal covers topics such as design, engineering, construction technologies, and the maintenance and management of constructed facilities.
The scope of Automation in Construction is extensive and covers all stages of the construction life cycle. This includes initial planning and design, construction of the facility, operation and maintenance, as well as the eventual dismantling and recycling of buildings and engineering structures.
