Tunnel survey


The tunnel survey tools are used to automatically generate cross sections along a trajectory and extract a cylindrical develop of the tunnel as a scaled orthophoto.


Cylinder virtual scan

The virtual scanning can here be done in cylindrical projection using a cylindrical projector as a virtual scanner.

This function will enable you to virtually scan your 3D scene by looking at it from a cylindrical camera whose “backbone” is a selected flythrough. More concretely, Reconstructor® will split your trajectory in many segments, each segment running from point T(t) to point T(t + 1), where T(t) indicates the point on trajectory T at time t. Out of each one of those segments, a cylindrical camera will be created having as main axis the segment. Reconstructor® will pop up as many virtual scan dialogs as the segments are, to allow you to do a virtual scan.

Tunnel cross sections

To generate a series of cross sections with a defined spacing; all of them are disposed along a selected trajectory or polyline or series of points that describes the elongation of a tunnel. The sections are perpendicular to the trajectory and constrained to be parallel between them.
