Abstract
A four-ocular vision system is proposed for the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of large-scale concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) materials under complex testing conditions. These measurements are vitally important for evaluating the seismic performance and 3D deformation of large-scale specimens. A four-ocular vision system is constructed to sample the large-scale CFST, then point cloud acquisition, filtering, and stitching algorithms are applied to obtain 3D point cloud of the specimen surface. Novel point cloud correction algorithms based on geometric features and deep learning are proposed to correct the coordinates of the stitched point cloud. The proposed algorithms center on the stitching error of the multi-view point cloud and the geometric and spatial characteristics of the targets for error compensation, which makes them highly adaptive and efficient. A high-accuracy multi-view 3D model for the purposes of real-time complex surface monitoring can be obtained via this method. Performance indicators of the two algorithms were evaluated on actual tasks. The cross-section diameters at specific heights in the reconstructed models were calculated and compared against laser range finder data to test the performance of the proposed method. A visual tracking test on a CFST under cyclic loading shows that the reconstructed output well reflects the complex 3D surface after point cloud correction and meets the requirements for dynamic monitoring. The proposed method is applicable to complex environments featuring dynamic movement, mechanical vibration, and continuously changing features.
