Abstract Background: Three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning technology could rapidly extract the surface geometric features of maize plants to achieve non-destructive monitoring of maize phenotypes. However, extracting the phenotypic parameters of maize plants based on laser point cloud data is challenging.Methods: In this paper, a rotational scanning method was used to collect the data of potted maize point cloud from different perspectives by using a laser scanner. Maize point cloud data were grid-reconstructed and aligned based on greedy projection triangulation algorithm and iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm, and the random sampling consistency algorithm was used to segment the stem and leaf point clouds of single maize plant to obtain the plant height and leaf parameters.Results: The results showed that the R2 between the predicted plant height and the measured plant height was above 0.95, and the R2 of the predicted leaf length, leaf width and leaf area were 0.938, 0878 and 0.956 respectively when compared with the measured values.Conclusions: The 3D reconstruction of maize plants using the laser scanner showed a good performance, and the phenotypic parameters obtained based on the reconstructed 3D model had high accuracy. The results were helpful to the practical application of plant 3D reconstruction and provided guidance for plant parameter acquisition and theoretical methods for intelligent agricultural research.

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.
