GEOMETRIC MODELING SYSTEMS FOR CONSTRUCTION SURVEYING OF HIGHWAY TUNNELS

This paper describes geometric modeling systems that are being applied with computer systems in construction surveying of highway tunnels. These modeling systems include sweeping, skinning, mesh generation, combined constructive solid geometry and boundary representation modeling systems, and computational geometry for irregular surfaces and tunnel intersections.
