Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of three-dimensional laser scanning equipment for underground passages, and specifically provides a method for rapidly mapping underground passages using a wearable three-dimensional laser scanning system. Background Art
[0002] Three-dimensional laser scanning equipment for underground passages is a measurement tool that can quickly and accurately obtain the three-dimensional spatial information of underground passages. It creates a three-dimensional model of the passage by emitting laser beams and detecting the reflected light, and is widely used in fields such as building surveying and mapping, railway tunnel detection, and mine roadway measurement.
[0003] In the traditional process of mapping underground passages, total stations or GPS-RTK technologies are mainly used for data collection and mapping. However, these methods have some significant limitations, such as relatively low work efficiency, high dependence on environmental conditions, and high labor costs. Although backpack-type or vehicle-mounted three-dimensional laser scanning systems have emerged on the market, and these systems have indeed contributed to improving data collection efficiency, in practical applications, especially in narrow and complex multi-branch underground passages, they still face technical bottlenecks such as positioning drift and point cloud stitching errors. These problems limit the wide application and accuracy of three-dimensional laser scanning systems in underground passage surveying and mapping.
[0004] Therefore, a method for rapidly mapping underground passages using a wearable three-dimensional laser scanning system is provided. Summary of the Invention

[0045] 2. Through this method, the present invention, by means of an adaptive point cloud density adjustment technology, dynamically adjusts the scanning frequency according to the traveling speed, enabling the system to better adapt to different working scenarios. When the traveling speed is relatively fast, the scanning frequency is appropriately increased to ensure data integrity.

By executing point cloud lightweight compression and BIM parametric mapping through an embedded GPU processor, it can quickly generate a LOD3-level 3D model and output files in IFC or Revit format. The real-time modeling and output function enables staff to promptly obtain the 3D model of the underground passage. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
