Over-excavation by Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) shields results in ground loss, which can lead to surface subsidence and pose a serious threat to both infrastructure and transportation systems. Current methods for monitoring muck volume—typically relying on weighing or visual inspection of the muck box—are often time-consuming, prone to error, and lack reliability. To address this, this paper proposes a muck volume measurement algorithm combined with a 3D point cloud segmentation model, ...
