[0002] In tunnel construction, the tunnel face, as the front line of tunnel excavation, directly affects the safety, progress, and quality of construction. Accurate and real-time monitoring of information at the tunnel face is crucial for preventing disasters such as collapses and water inrushes, optimizing construction parameters, and ensuring project quality.
[0003] With the development of optical technology, structured light-based monitoring methods are gradually being applied to tunnel face monitoring.
