With the latest advancements in three-dimensional (3D) measurement technologies, obtaining 3D point cloud data for inspection purposes in manufacturing is becoming more common. While 3D point cloud data allows for better inspection capabilities, their analysis is typically challenging. Especially with unstructured 3D point cloud data, containing coordinates at random locations, the challenges increase with higher levels of noise and larger volumes of data. Hence, the objective of this paper is to extend the previously developed Adaptive Generalized Likelihood Ratio (AGLR) approach to handle unstructured 3D point cloud data used for automated surface defect inspection in manufacturing. More specifically, the AGLR approach was implemented in a practical case study to inspect twenty-seven samples, each with a unique fault. These faults were designed to cover an array of possible faults having three different sizes, three different magnitudes, and located in three different locations. The results show that the AGLR approach can indeed differentiate between non-faulty and a varying range of faulty surfaces while being able to pinpoint the fault location. This work also serves as a validation for the previously developed AGLR approach in a practical scenario.

Muti-baseLine SAR tomography can be used on 3D reconstruction of urban building based on SAR images acquired. In the near future, it is expected to become an important technical tool for urban multi-dimensional precision monitoring. For the moment,There is no effective method to verify the accuracy of tomographic SAR 3D point cloud of urban buildings. In this paper, a new method based on terrestrial Lidar 3D point cloud data to verify the accuracy of the tomographic SAR 3D point cloud data is proposed, 3D point cloud of two can be segmented into different facadeds. Then facet boundary extraction is carried out one by one, to evaluate the accuracy of tomographic SAR 3D point cloud of urban buildings. The experience select data of Pangu Plaza to analyze and compare, the result of experience show that the proposed method that evaluating the accuracy of tomographic SAR 3D point clou of urban building based on lidar 3D point cloud is validity and applicability

Segmentation algorithm of 3D point cloud data based on region growing is proposed, the main idea is as follows: First, seed points in each region of object surface are searched, and then, starts from the seed point, the process of regional growing is done, which all the point cloud data belong to same surface are included until some discontinuous set of points appear. The algorithm is implemented under C, and the 3D point cloud data are showed by OPENGL software.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) and safety assessment are very important areas for evaluating the behavior of structures. Various wired and wireless sensors can measure the physical responses of structures, such as displacement or strain. One recently developed wireless technique is a light imaging detection and ranging (LiDAR) system that can remotely acquire three-dimensional (3D) high-precision coordinate information using 3D laser scanning. LiDAR systems have been previously used in geographic information systems (GIS) to collect information on geography and terrain. Recently, however, LiDAR is used in the SHM field to analyze structural behavior, as it can remotely detect the surface and deformation shape of structures without the need for attached sensors. This study demonstrates a strain evaluation method using a LiDAR system in order to analyze the behavior of steel structures. To evaluate the strains of structures from the initial and deformed shape, a combination of distributed 3D point cloud data and finite element methods (FEM) was used. The distributed 3D point cloud data were reconstructed into a 3D mesh model, and strains were calculated using the FEM. By using the proposed method, the strain could be calculated at any point on a structure for SHM and safety assessment during construction.

Three dimensional point cloud map in the anthropometry has attracted intensive attention due to the availability of fast and accurate laser scan devices. Inevitably, there is a data deviation between 3D measurement and manual tests. To address this problem, shoulder width and neck girth are accurately determined from 3D point cloud, the two-scale fractal is used for 3D point cloud simplification, and young female samples are used in our experiment to show the accuracy.

Numerous sensors can obtain images or point cloud data on land, however, the rapid attenuation of electromagnetic signals and the lack of light in water have been observed to restrict sensing functions. This study expands the utilization of two- and three-dimensional detection technologies in underwater applications to detect abandoned tires. A three-dimensional acoustic sensor, the BV5000, is used in this study to collect underwater point cloud data. Some pre-processing steps are proposed to remove noise and the seabed from raw data. Point clouds are then processed to obtain two data types: a 2D image and a 3D point cloud. Deep learning methods with different dimensions are used to train the models. In the two-dimensional method, the point cloud is transferred into a bird’s eye view image. The Faster R-CNN and YOLOv3 network architectures are used to detect tires. Meanwhile, in the three-dimensional method, the point cloud associated with a tire is cut out from the raw data and is used as training data. The PointNet and PointConv network architectures are then used for tire classification. The results show that both approaches provide good accuracy.
