New Research

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.

Remote Sensing Techniques

Terrestrial remote sensing techniques, including both Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and Close-Range Photogrammetry (CRP), have been recently used in multiple applications and projects with particular reference to the documentation/inspection of a wide variety of Cultural Heritage structures.<br> The high density of TLS point cloud data allows to perform structure survey in an unprecedented level of detail, providing a direct solution for the digital three-dimensional modelling, the site restoration and the analysis of the structural conditions. Textural information provided by CRP can be used for the photorealistic representation of the surveyed structure. With respect to many studies, the combination of TLS and CRP techniques produces the best results for Cultural Heritage documentation purposes. Moreover, TLS and CRP point cloud data have been proved to be useful in the field of deformation analysis and structural health monitoring. They can be the input data for the Finite Element Method (FEM), providing some prior knowledge concerning the material and the boundary conditions such as constraints and loading.<br> The paper investigates the capabilities and advantages of TLS and CRP data integration for the three-dimensional modelling compared to a simplified geometric reconstruction. This work presents some results concerning the Baptistery of Aquileia in Italy, characterized by an octagonal plan and walls composed by masonry stones with good texture.

Cylinder Fitting

This paper investigates the problems of cylinder fitting in laser scanning three-dimensional Point Cloud Data (PCD). Most existing methods require full cylinder data, do not study the presence of outliers, and are not statistically robust. But especially mobile laser scanning often has incomplete data, as street poles for example are only scanned from the road. Moreover, existence of outliers is common. Outliers may occur as random or systematic errors, and may be scattered and/or clustered. In this paper, we present a statistically robust cylinder fitting algorithm for PCD that combines Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA) with robust regression. Robust principal components as obtained by RPCA allow estimating cylinder directions more accurately, and an existing efficient circle fitting algorithm following robust regression principles, properly fit cylinder. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed method on artificial and real PCD. Results show that the proposed method provides more accurate and robust results: (i) in the presence of noise and high percentage of outliers, (ii) for incomplete as well as complete data, (iii) for small and large number of points, and (iv) for different sizes of radius. On 1000 simulated quarter cylinders of 1m radius with 10% outliers a PCA based method fit cylinders with a radius of on average 3.63 meter (m); the proposed method on the other hand fit cylinders of on average 1.02&amp;thinsp;m radius. The algorithm has potential in applications such as fitting cylindrical (e.g., light and traffic) poles, diameter at breast height estimation for trees, and building and bridge information modelling.

Definition Of

Segmentation is an important step in point cloud data feature extraction and three-dimensional modelling. Currently, it is also a challenging problem in point cloud processing. There are some disadvantages of the DBSCAN method, such as requiring the manual definition of parameters and low efficiency when it is used for large amounts of calculation. This paper proposes the AQ-DBSCAN algorithm, which is a density clustering segmentation method combined with Gaussian mapping. The algorithm improves upon the DBSCAN algorithm by solving the problem of automatic estimation of the parameter neighborhood radius. The improved algorithm can carry out density clustering processing quickly by reducing the amount of computation required.

Since the 2000s, terrestrial laser scanning, as one of the methods used to document historical edifices in protected areas, has taken on greater importance because it mitigates the difficulties associated with working on large areas and saves time while also making it possible to better understand all the particularities of the area. Through this technology, comprehensive point data (point clouds) about the surface of an object can be generated in a highly accurate three-dimensional manner. Furthermore, with the proper software this three-dimensional point cloud data can be transformed into three-dimensional rendering/mapping/modeling and quantitative orthophotographs. In this chapter, the study will present the results of terrestrial laser scanning and surveying which was used to obtain three-dimensional point clouds through three-dimensional survey measurements and scans of silhouettes of streets in Fatih in Historic Peninsula in Istanbul, which were then transposed into survey images and drawings. The study will also cite examples of the facade mapping using terrestrial laser scanning data in Istanbul Historic Peninsula Project.

Three-dimensional point cloud data is a new form of three-dimensional collection, which not only contains the geometric topology information of the object, but also has high simplicity and flexibility. In this paper, the air-ground multi-source data fusion technology is used to study the fine reconstruction of the 3D scene: based on the 3D laser scanning laser point cloud, the 3D spatial information of the ground visible objects is obtained, and the orthophoto obtained by the drone aerial photography is assisted, Obtain the three-dimensional space information of the top of the ground feature, and the ground three-dimensional laser scanner can quickly obtain the three-dimensional surface information of the building facade, ground, and trees. Due to the complex structure of the building and the occlusion of spatial objects, sub-station scanning is required when acquiring point cloud data. This article uses the Sino-German Energy Conservation Center Building of Shenyang Jianzhu University as the research area, using drone tilt photography technology and ground lidar technology to integrate. During the experiment, the field industry adopted the UAV image acquisition strategy of “automatic shooting of regular routes, supplemented by manual shooting of areas of interest”; in the field industry, the method of “manual coarse registration and ICP algorithm fine registration” The example results show that the ground 3D laser point cloud air-ground image fusion 3D modeling effect proposed in this paper is better and the quality is greatly improved, which makes up for the ground 3D laser scanning. In point cloud modeling, a large number of holes are insufficient due to occlusion and missing top information.
