| description | The extraction of landslide deformation using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) has many important applications. The landslide deformation can be extracted based on a digital terrain model (DTM). However, such methods usually suffer from the ill-posed problem of a multiplicative error model as illustrated in previous studies. Moreover, the edge drift of commonly used spherical targets for point cloud registration (PCR) is ignored in the existing method, which will result in the unstable precision of the PCR. In response to these problems, we propose a method for extracting landslide deformations from TLS data. To archive the PCR of different period point clouds, a new triangular pyramid target is designed to eliminate the edge drift. If a fixed target is inconvenient, we also propose a PCR method based on total station orientation. Then, the use of the Tikhonov regularization method to derive the weighted least squares regularization solution is presented. Finally, the landslide deformation is extracted by DTM deference. The experiments are conducted on two datasets with more than 1.5 billion points. The first dataset takes Lashagou NO. 3 landslide in Gansu Province, China, as the research object; the point cloud data were collected on 26 February 2021 and 3 May 2021. The registration accuracy was 0.003 m based on the permanent triangular pyramid target and 0.005 m based on the total station orientation. The landslide deforms within 3 cm due to the ablation of the frozen soil. The second dataset is TLS data from the Lihua landslide in Chongqing, China, collected on 20 April 2021 and 1 May 2021. The overall deformation of the Lihua landslide is small, with a maximum value of 0.011 m. The result shows that the proposed method achieves a better performance than previous sphere-based registration and that the weighted least square regularization iterative solution can effectively reduce the ill-condition of the model. |
