Bridge Deformation Monitoring Combining 3D Laser Scanning with Multi-Scale Algorithms
June 2025 • Dongmei Tan, Li Wan, Tao Yu, Baifeng Ji
To address the inefficiencies and limited spatial resolution of traditional single-point monitoring techniques, this study proposes a multi-scale analysis method that integrates the Multi-Scale Model-to-Model Cloud Comparison (M3C2) algorithm with least-squares plane fitting. This approach employs the M3C2 algorithm for qualitative full-field deformation detection and utilizes least-squares plane fitting for quantitative feature extraction. When applied to the approach span of a cross-river bridge in Hubei Provinc…
