Mobile Laser Scanning Systems (MLS) can deliver large volumes of point cloud data at a high frequency and on a large scale. However, current change detection approaches do not deliver sufficient sensitivity and precision for real-time performance on large-scale datasets. We present a novel, octree-based computational framework for intra-voxel statistical inference change detection and deformation analysis. Our approach exploits high-density MLS data to test for statistical significance for appearing objects caused by rockfall and for low-magnitude deformations, such as convergence. In field tests, our method detects rock falls with side lengths as small as 0.03 m and convergence as low as 0.01 m, or 0.5% wall-to-wall strain. When compared against a state-of-the-art multi-scale model-to-model cloud comparison (M3C2)-based method, ours is less sensitive to noisy data and parameter selection while also requiring fewer parameters. Most notably, our method is the only one tested that can perform real-time change detection on large-scale datasets on a single processor thread. Our method achieves a computational improvement of 50 times over single-threaded M3C2 while maintaining a performance scalability that is four times greater with dataset size. Our framework shows significant potential to enable accurate real-time geotechnical monitoring of large-scale underground spaces.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15071764","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,27]],"date-time":"2023-03-27T02:18:27Z","timestamp":1679883507000},"page":"1764","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Development and Testing of Octree-Based Intra-Voxel Statistical Inference to Enable Real-Time Geotechnical Monitoring of Large-Scale Underground Spaces with Mobile Laser Scanning Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5963-7941","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lukas","family":"Fahle","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mining Engineering Department, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO 80401, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2070-4227","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrew J.","family":"Petruska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Department, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO 80401, USA"}]},{"given":"Gabriel","family":"Walton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geology and Geological Engineering Department, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO 80401, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3660-7520","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jurgen F.","family":"Brune","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mining Engineering Department, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO 80401, USA"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth A.","family":"Holley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mining Engineering Department, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO 80401, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"163","article-title":"Shield tunnels of the Chicago Subway","volume":"29","author":"Terzaghi","year":"1942","journal-title":"J.
