Usage of 3D Point Cloud Data in BIM (Building Information Modelling): Current Applications and Challenges
TLDR
The needs for intelligent geometric feature detection/reconstruction algorithms for automated point cloud processing and issues related to data management are discussed and an innovative approach for integrating 3D point cloud data with BIM to efficiently augment built environment design, construction and management is presented.Abstract:
BIM (building information modelling) has gained wider acceptance in the A/E/C (architecture/engineering/construction) industry in the US and internationally. This paper presents current industry approaches of implementing 3D point cloud data in BIM and VDC (virtual design and construction) applications during various stages of a project life cycle and the challenges associated with processing the huge amount of 3D point cloud data. Conversion from discrete 3D point cloud raster data to geometric/vector BIM data remains to be a labor-intensive process. The needs for intelligent geometric feature detection/reconstruction algorithms for automated point cloud processing and issues related to data management are discussed. This paper also presents an innovative approach for integrating 3D point cloud data with BIM to efficiently augment built environment design, construction and management.read more
