Sensor Fusion-Based Point Cloud Registration Considering Safety Net during Scaffold Installation
Publication: Computing in Civil Engineering 2023
ABSTRACT
In order to prevent scaffolding accidents at construction sites, field managers have manually inspected safety regulations. A 3D reconstruction technology enables effective safety management through the automatic monitoring of scaffolds. However, it is difficult to obtain meaningful data for scaffold monitoring in the actual installation process because a safety net is installed. To address this issue, we propose a sensor fusion-based point cloud registration method considering the installation of safety nets for scaffold 3D reconstruction. The method consists of three steps: (1) camera and mobile LiDAR calibration, (2) identification of scaffold installation phases with deep learning-based 2D detection, and (3) registration of point cloud data without safety nets. The proposed method has demonstrated the potential to generate registered point clouds without safety nets for scaffold 3D reconstruction.
