RT Journal Article T1 Instance and semantic segmentation of point clouds of large metallic truss bridges A1 Lamas Novoa, Daniel A1 Justo Dominguez, Andrés A1 Soilán Rodríguez, Mario A1 Cabaleiro Núñez, Manuel A1 Riveiro Rodríguez, Belén K1 3305.06 Ingeniería Civil K1 33 Ciencias Tecnológicas AB Several methods have been developed for the semantic segmentation of reinforced concrete bridges, however, there is a gap for truss bridges. Therefore, in this study a state-of-the-art methodology for the instance and semantic segmentation of point clouds of truss bridges for modelling purposes is presented, which, to the best of the authors' knowledge, is the first such methodology. This algorithm segments each truss element and classifies them as a chord, diagonal, vertical post, interior lateral brace, bottom lateral brace, or strut. The algorithm consists of a sequence of methods, including principal component analysis or clustering, that analyse each point and its neighbours in the point cloud. Case studies show that by adjusting only six manually measured parameters, the algorithm can automatically segment a truss bridge point cloud.
