A METHOD FOR EXTRACTING DEFORMATION FEATURES FROM TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNER 3D POINT CLOUDS DATA IN RGIPT BUILDING

Abstract. With the advancement of measuring technology and the incorporation of photogrammetry into architectural applications, architectural documentation applications have taken on a new viewpoint. Terrestrial laser scanning is a modern approach employed in documentation research today in this field. The following are the most significant advantages of terrestrial laser scanning in this study.The point cloud data obtained by terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) allows for quick access to the correct data at the specified frequency, generating relevant and practical findings for the targeted study, and the ability to use scanners in a variety of working environments. Laser scanners have become one of the most popular tools for obtaining effective and successful outcomes in architectural documentation projects such as surveys, restitution, and renovation. Standardized building rules and design procedures have been developed to create structures that are safe for public usage. Structures are frequently subjected to severe loading situations and difficult environmental situations that were not anticipated during design, resulting in a long-term structural deformation. In this paper, the “RGIPT”, which is one of the educational institutes in Uttar Pradesh, India, was scanned with a terrestrial laser scanner for this study, and 3D sketching, and modelling were done with the SCENE software utilizing only 3D point cloud data. Few columns of the structure have been considered for this paper and their behavior with vibration loading is observed. To conduct this study variation of variances for X-direction and Y-direction is observed for millions of points with increasing height of the structure to predict the upcoming deformation in studied columns of the structure.
