Point Clouds Processing and Interpretation
Recently, a section of the I-85 in Atlanta collapsed due to a human-caused fire (images below). The accident impacted Atlanta traffic and led to the closure of the I-85 in both directions in the vicinity of the damaged section.
Due to the impact of the accident, damage removal, traffic control, and construction of the new section began almost immediately.
Of course, the authorities also wanted to document the state of the bridge. As part of the damage assessment, the Georgia Department of Transportation needs to create a post-disaster scan of the bridge and compare it to a scan performed earlier, when the bridge was fully intact. The scan analysis will also assist in the repair as it will provide important geometric information regarding the section.
