Aiming at the narrow and long tunnel structure, few internal features, and a large amount of point cloud data, the existing registration algorithms and commercial software registration results are not ideal, an iterative global registration algorithm is proposed for massive underground tunnel point cloud registration, which is composed of local initial pose acquisition and global adjustment. Firstly, the feature point coordinates in the point cloud are extracted, and then the station-by-station registration is performed according to the Rodrigues matrix. Finally, the registration result is considered as the initial value of the parameter, and the global adjustment of all observations is carried out. The observation values are weighted by the selection weight iteration method and the weights are constantly modified in the iteration process until the threshold conditions are met and the iteration stops. In this paper, the experimental data, made up of 85 stations of point cloud data, are from the Xiamen subway tunnel, which is about 1300 m long. When the accumulated error of station-to-station registration is too large, several stations are regarded as partial wholes, and the optimal registration is achieved through multiple global adjustments, and the registration accuracy is within 5 mm. Experimental results confirm the feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm, which provides a new method for point cloud registration of underground space tunnel.
