The team proposed a complete set of key technologies for intelligent geometric quality inspection of prefabricated building components, which was appraised by the Guangdong Civil Engineering and Architecture Society as possessing significant originality and reaching an internationally leading level. The achievement has important theoretical significance and application value for the transformation and upgrading of building industrialization. The complete technology has been successfully applied to geometric quality inspection of component production in multiple prefabricated component plants and to measured quantity survey work of multiple prefabricated building projects at home and abroad. In total, it has been applied in 5 prefabricated component plant scenarios and 40 prefabricated building projects in China and abroad.
