In this study, we utilize the characteristics of 3D terrestrial lidar point cloud data to build a CSG-BRep 3D model of underground cable wells, whose spatial topological relationship is fully considered. In order to simplify the modeling process, first, point cloud simplification is performed; then, the point cloud main axis is extracted by OBB bounding box, and lastly the point cloud orientation correction is realized by quaternion rotation. Furthermore, employing the adaptive method, the top point cloud is extracted, and it is projected for boundary extraction. Thereupon, utilizing the boundary information, we design the 3D cable well model. Finally, the cable well component model is generated by scanning the original point cloud. The experiments demonstrate that, along with the algorithm being fast, the proposed model is effective at displaying the 3D information of the actual cable wells and meets the current production demands.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12091452","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,4]],"date-time":"2020-05-04T14:00:43Z","timestamp":1588600843000},"page":"1452","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Integration of Constructive Solid Geometry and Boundary Representation (CSG-BRep) for 3D Modeling of Underground Cable Wells from Point Clouds"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Ming","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Representative Building and Architectural Heritage Database, the Ministry of Education, Key Laboratory for Urban Geomatics of National Administration of Surveying, Mapping and Geoinformation, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Beijing 100044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xueyu","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Representative Building and Architectural Heritage Database, the Ministry of Education, Key Laboratory for Urban Geomatics of National Administration of Surveying, Mapping and Geoinformation, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Beijing 100044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xianglei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Representative Building and Architectural Heritage Database, the Ministry of Education, Key Laboratory for Urban Geomatics of National Administration of Surveying, Mapping and Geoinformation, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Beijing 100044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tianhang","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Representative Building and Architectural Heritage Database, the Ministry of Education, Key Laboratory for Urban Geomatics of National Administration of Surveying, Mapping and Geoinformation, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Beijing 100044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peiyuan","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Representative Building and Architectural Heritage Database, the Ministry of Education, Key Laboratory for Urban Geomatics of National Administration of Surveying, Mapping and Geoinformation, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Beijing 100044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1473","article-title":"Automatic 3D Modeling Method for Urban Underground Pipe Network","volume":"9","author":"Bi","year":"2013","journal-title":"Chin.
