In tunnel lining construction, the traditional manual wet spraying operation is labor-intensive and can be challenging to ensure consistent quality. To address this, this study proposes a LiDAR-based method for sensing the thickness of tunnel wet spray, which aims to improve efficiency and quality. The proposed method utilizes an adaptive point cloud standardization processing algorithm to address differing point cloud postures and missing data, and the segmented Lamé curve is employed to fit the tunnel design axis using the Gauss–Newton iteration method. This establishes a mathematical model of the tunnel section and enables the analysis and perception of the thickness of the tunnel to be wet sprayed through comparison with the actual inner contour line and the design line of the tunnel. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective in sensing the thickness of tunnel wet spray, with important implications for promoting intelligent wet spraying operations, improving wet spraying quality, and reducing labor costs in tunnel lining construction.

Tunnels, soundproof screens and other vertical roadside traffic facilities play an important role in isolating the driving environment, maintaining driving safety, and reducing driving noise. As the usage time increases, these facade traffic buildings become polluted and cause traffic safety problems. Obstacles on three-dimensional walls of different shapes, colors, and sizes are the most challenging problem in intelligent cleaning environment perception. This paper proposes an obstacle segmentation method based on a visual language model to overcome these problems. Firstly, in the constructed experimental environment, a visual–language obstacle dataset is collected, named the Road-side General Obstacles Dataset (RGOD), and the collected dataset is labeled with both a segmentation mask and a language description. These preprocessing results are used as the training input of the perception model to obtain the foreground and background separation results. Secondly, a VLM-GOS model was proposed to segmentation special-shaped obstacles, which emphasizes the distinction between background and foreground targets. Finally, the general obstacle is segmented by a vision–language model with a similar loss function, and evaluated with different metrics. Experimental results show that compared with models such as MaskFormer, SegFormer, and ASD-Net, this method improves the model’s perceptual ability and increases accuracy by 3%. More importantly, the model is more interpretable.
