Abstract:In studies of post-earthquake areas using the traditional methods of 2D seismic damage images, the visual effect of the image is not ideal because of the limited shooting angle. Therefore, a method of 3D virtual reconstruction of post-earthquake regions based on 3D laser scanning technology is proposed in this paper. The post-earthquake area is measured by a 3D laser scanner, and the point cloud data of the region is obtained. First, the Cyclone software is used to merge the point cloud data, and the whole point cloud image of the post-earthquake region is obtained, and then the point cloud data of the map are processed and encapsulated. Finally, a sketch model is used to implement the mapping on the point cloud data, and then the 3D image of the post-earthquake region can be virtually reconstructed with ideal visual communication effect. Experimental results show that the proposed method has high accuracy and good visual effect for 3D reconstruction of post-earthquake area images.
