Computer aided rebar measurement and inspection system

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to computer aided rebar measurement and inspection systems. In some embodiments, the system may include a data acquisition system configured to obtain fine-level rebar measurements, images or videos of rebar structures, a 3D point cloud model generation system configured to generate a 3D point cloud model representation of the rebar structure from information acquired by the data acquisition system, a rebar detection system configured to detect rebar within the 3D point cloud model generated or the rebar images or videos of the rebar structures, a rebar measurement system to measure features of the rebar and rebar structures detected by the rebar detection system, and a discrepancy detection system configured to compare the measured features of the rebar structures detected by the rebar detection system with a 3D Building Information Model (BIM) of the rebar structures, and determine any discrepancies between them.
