DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW METHODOLOGY FOR MEASURING DEFORMATION IN TUNNELS AND SHAFTS WITH TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNING (LIDAR) USING ELLIPTICAL FITTING ALGORITHMS (2012)

Three dimensional laser scanning, also known as Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) has quickly been expanding in its applications in the field of geological engineering due to its ability to rapidly acquire highly accurate three dimensional positional data. Recently is has been shown that LiDAR scanning can be easily integrated into an excavation sequence in an underground environment for the purpose of collecting rockmass and discontinuity information. As scans are often taken multiple times of the same environment, the next logical application of LiDAR scanning is for monitoring for change and deformation.
