The goal of the study is to develop a novel method to manufacture the functional bras. The high precision three-dimensional (3D) scanner was employed to get the point cloud data. A fixed mount was invented to keep the bra cup stable and decrease measuring error. A bottom holder was prepared by the 3D printer to place the bra cup during the injection process. Furthermore, the injection points coordinate values and the injection volumes can be determined based on the 3D image of the bra cup and the thickness of those positions. At last, the three-axis automatic robot which was coupled with a precision liquid dispenser is used to inject the microcapsules solution into the bra cup for the preparation of functional intimate apparel. The proposed method was verified to be feasible and effective through a practical example.

Repairing point cloud holes has become an important problem in the research of 3D laser point cloud data, which ensures the integrity and improves the precision of point cloud data. However, for the point cloud data with non-characteristic holes, the boundary data of point cloud holes cannot be used for repairing. Therefore, this paper introduces photogrammetry technology and analyzes the density of the image point cloud data with the highest precision. The 3D laser point cloud data are first formed into hole data with sharp features. The image data are calculated into six density image point cloud data. Next, the barycenterization Bursa model is used to fine-register the two types of data and to delete the overlapping regions. Then, the cross-section is used to evaluate the precision of the combined point cloud data to get the optimal density. A three-dimensional model is constructed for this data and the original point cloud data, respectively and the surface area method and the deviation method are used to compare them. The experimental results show that the ratio of the areas is less than 0.5%, and the maximum standard deviation is 0.0036 m and the minimum is 0.0015 m.

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.

In this paper 110 female undergraduates in Soochow University are measured by using 3D non-contact measurement system and manual measurement. 3D point cloud data of human body is taken as research objects by using anti-engineering software, and secondary development of point cloud data is done on the basis of optimizing point cloud data. In accordance with the definition of the human chest width points and other feature points, and in the operability of the three-dimensional point cloud data, the width, thickness, and length dimensions of the curve through the chest width point are measured. Classification of body type is done by choosing the ratio values as classification index which is the ratio between thickness and width of the curve. The generation rules of the chest curve are determined for each type by using linear regression method. Human arm model could be established by the computer automatically. Thereby the individual model of the female upper body mannequin modeling can be improved effectively.

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.

The implementation of laser scanning in the field of archaeology provides us with an entirely new dimension in research and surveying. It allows us to digitally recreate individual objects, or entire cities, using millions of three-dimensional points grouped together in what is referred to as "point clouds". In addition, the visualization of the point cloud data, which can be used in the final report by archaeologists and architects, should usually be produced as a JPG or TIFF file. Not only the visualization of point cloud data, but also re-examination of older data and new survey of the construction of Roman building applying remote-sensing technology for precise and detailed measurements afford new information that may lead to revising drawings of ancient buildings which had been adduced as evidence without any consideration of a degree of accuracy, and finally can provide new research of ancient buildings. We used laser scanners at fields because of its speed, comprehensive coverage, accuracy and flexibility of data manipulation. Therefore, we “skipped” many of post-processing and focused on the images created from the meta-data simply aligned using a tool which extended automatic feature-matching algorithm and a popular renderer that can provide graphic results.

The dimension detection of high-speed railway track slabs is one of the most important tasks before the track slabs delivery. Based on the characteristics of a 3D scanner which can acquire a large amount of measurement data continuously and rapidly in a short time, this paper uses the integration of 3D scanner and the intelligent robot to detect the CRTSIII (China Railway Track System) track slab supporting block plane, then the dense and accurate supporting block plane point cloud data is obtained, and the point cloud data is registered with the established model. An improved Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC) plane fitting algorithm is also proposed to extract the data of supporting block plane point cloud in this paper. The detection method is verified and the quality analysis of the detection results is assessed by a lot of real point cloud data obtained on site. The results show that the method can meet the quality control of CRTSIII finished track slab and the detection standard. Compared with the traditional detection methods, the detection method proposed in this paper can complete the detection of a track slab in 7 min, which greatly improves the detection efficiency, and has better reliability. The method has wide application prospects in the field of railway component detection.

This paper analyzes the techniques that can be used to perform point cloud data registration for a human face. We found that there is a limitation in full scale viewing on the input data taken from 3D camera which is only represented the front face of a man as the point of view of a camera. This has caused a hole on the surface that is not filled with the point cloud data. This research is done by mapping the retrieved point cloud to the surface of the face template of the human head. By using Coherent Point Drift (CPD) algorithm which is one of the non-rigid registration techniques, the analysis has been done and it shows that the mapping of points for a three-dimensional (3D) face is not done properly where there are some surfaces work well and certain points spread into the wrong area. Consequently, it has resulted in registration failure occurrences due to the concentration of the points which is focusing on the face only.
