The aim is to investigate and study the application direction
and technical maturity of 3D laser scanning technology in subway tunnel
measurement, and to provide guidance for the popularization and application of
tunnel engineering measurement. In recent years, a large number of literatures
have studied the application of 3D laser scanning technology in subway tunnel
measurement, and this paper comprehensively analyzes the current research
direction implementation methods, precision, operational efficiency and
practical application effect, indicating: (1) in the tunnel axis extraction, crosssectional
and limit measurement, slope adjustment line, 3D modeling and other
aspects of 3D laser scanning technology application mature, but the operating
efficiency needs to be further improved; (2) In the aspect of section deformation
and convergence analysis, laser scanning technology has significant advantages,
has been widely used, and is incorporated into the 2016 edition of the “Building
Deformation Measurement” specification; (3) There are some attempts in tunnel
cracks and water seepage detection, but the accuracy efficiency has yet to be
verified.
