Intelligent Construction Monitoring Method for Large and Complex Steel Structures Based on Laser Point Cloud

Large and complex steel structures play a vital role in building construction. However, deviations between the design model and the actual construction state are inevitable, which seriously affects the quality and safety of building construction. In our study, an intelligent construction monitoring method for large and complex steel structures based on laser point cloud is proposed. Firstly, three-dimensional laser scanning technology is introduced to capture accurate and complete spatial information on steel structures. Then, considering the inconsistency of the coordinate system between the design model and the laser point cloud, the building information model (BIM) is converted into the point cloud model, and the datum unification of the two types of the point cloud is achieved by adopting a coarse-to-fine registration strategy. Finally, the spatial information of steel structures is extracted from the laser point cloud based on the as-designed model, and the distance deviation between the two models is analyzed to reflect the actual construction state. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method, the steel structures’ point cloud of the stadium and the high-speed railway station is captured by the terrestrial three-dimensional laser scanner. The experimental results demonstrate that the method can extract the deviation between the design model and the actual construction, to provide accurate data sources for the intelligent fine construction of steel structures.
