Abstract

Digital twin technology can be used for disaster safety management of underground utility tunnels, which are social infrastructures. To verify its efficiency in an underground utility tunnel, it must be implemented and monitored in the real world. Therefore, the state of information about an object and the position of an object in the real world, which can change upon movement, should be correspondingly reflected in the digital model. Underground utility tunnels are monitored through closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras because the main infrastructure facilities are installed in a long and narrow form, which limits access to them. Therefore, synchronization of a digital twin model of an underground utility tunnel requires a method for identifying the location of an object through an installed CCTV camera. This study compares the DenseDepth transfer learning method and the coordinate system conversion method through floor plan projection to estimate depth using a single CCTV camera installed in an underground utility tunnel. The coordinate system conversion method through floor plane projection showed an error of 0.23 m to 1.5 m within a 50 m range. The DenseDepth transfer learning method showed an error of 1 m to 3 m; therefore, it was considered unsuitable for distance estimation. The coordinate system conversion method through floor plane projection showed a smaller error even at a longer distance than the DenseDepth transfer learning method. Therefore, the coordinate system conversion method through floor plane projection was considered more suitable than the DenseDepth transfer learning method for depth estimation using a single camera.
