Terrestrial laser scanning technology (TLS) is a new technique for quickly getting three-dimensional information. In this paper we research the health assessment of concrete structures with a Finite Element Method (FEM) ...

The choice of an appropriate metric is mandatory to perform deformation analysis between two point clouds (PC)-the distance has to be trustworthy and, simultaneously, robust against measurement noise, which may be correlated ...

Simplified models are widely applied in finite element computations regarding mechanical and structural problems. However, the simplified model sometimes causes many deviations in the finite element analysis (FEA) of ...

Abstract Terrestrial laser scanning is used in many disciplines of engineering. Examples include mobile mapping, architecture surveying, archaeology, as well as monitoring and surveillance measurements. For most of the ...

Deformation monitoring of structures is a common application and one of the major tasks of engineering surveying. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) has become a popular method for detecting deformations due to high precision ...

In recent years, the requirements in the industrial production of elongated objects, e.g., aircraft, have been increased. An essential aspect of the production process is the 3D object detection as well as the qualitative ...

The fully automatic registration of terrestrial scan data is still a major topic for many research groups. Existent methods used in commercial software often use artificial markers which are placed in the scene and measured ...

Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is capable to be a reliable deformation monitoring device with high-precision for concrete composite structures. Measurements based on TLS for an arch structure with monotonic loading is ...

Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) technology is one of the most efficient and accurate tools for 3D measurement which can reveal surface-based characteristics of objects with the aid of computer vision and programming. Thus, ...
