Automated Tunnel Point Cloud Segmentation and Extraction Method by Zhe Wang, Zhenyi Zhu, Yong Wu, Qihao Hong, Donglai Jiang, Jinbo Fu, Sifa Xu

“…GuSAC, based on the RANSAC algorithm, introduces a minimum spanning tree to reconstruct the topological structure of the tunnel design axis. By using a sliding window, it effectively distinguishes between curved and straight sections of long tunnels while removing non-tunnel structural point clouds with normal vectors, thereby enhancing the lining boundary features and significantly improving the automation level of tunnel processing. …”
