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.
KEYWORDS
