Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Integrated remote sensing methods and technologies have been adopted widely in the field of structural health monitoring of various constructions which can provide adequate information on objects and powerful computational and analytical methods for the monitoring of tunnels, bridges, subways, and many other kinds of constructions. Great attention has been paid by different scientific communities to this topic because it promotes a deep understanding of structure monitoring, and thus plays an important role in the development of intelligent monitoring technologies.

This Special Collection aims to synthesize the state-of-the-art in intelligent remote sensing, multi-sensor measurement, artificial intelligence, structural health monitoring, laser-based measurement, machine vision, deep learning, and deformation analysis. We hope to showcase the impact of intelligent monitoring of modern constructions, and to strengthen academic exchange in the field of intelligent monitoring methods and applications.

Research articles on new developments in intelligent monitoring with respect to theoretical, computational, models, experiments, and methods, as well as their applications in the engineering fields, will be considered.

We encourage submissions on a broad range of issues including, but not limited to:

  • Intelligent Remote Sensing
  • Multi-sensor Measurement
  • Structural Health Monitoring
  • Deformation Analysis
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Laser-based Measurement
  • Machine Vision

The application of three-dimensional laser scanning technology in the field of tunnel deformation monitoring has changed the traditional measurement method. It provides an automated and intelligent solution for monitoring the geometric deformation of tunnel sections due to its high efficiency and independence from environmental influences. In this paper, based on B-spline fitting and iterative nearest point (ICP) alignment, the calculation of the difference between the radial distance and the design radius of a tunnel is transformed into a curve transformation that iterates over the nearest-neighbor points and calculates the difference in the distance between the corresponding points. The innovation of this paper is that the high-precision tunnel deformation monitoring method integrating B-spline fitting and ICP alignment can automatically compensate for the missing point clouds, is not affected by the point clouds of the tunnel inner and outer liner appendages, is more sensitive in the local deformation feedback and can be applied to a variety of tunnel shapes. The results indicate that our method maximally improves the accuracy of the horizontal convergence calculation by 28.6 mm and the accuracy of the vault settlement by 27.8 mm in comparison with the least squares circle fitting algorithm.
