The traditional manual measurement methods are time-consuming and error-prone when they are used for cable-stayed bridges’ geometric dimensions acquisition. They are always limited by various adverse conditions such as large bridge spans, the high height of bridge towers, more risk of manual operation, and many other unpredictable factors. In contrast, three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning technology is extremely useful for solving the above problems. After obtaining plenty of point cloud data and point cloud models, precise and accurate geometric dimensions of cable-stayed bridges can be obtained accurately and conveniently. Taking a cable-stayed bridge named XingLinBao as an example, the accuracy and convenience of 3D laser scanning are verified.
