Methods for Automatically Modeling and Representing As-built Building Information Models
Conference Paper, Proceedings of NSF Engineering Research and Innovation Conference, 2011
Abstract
Laser scanners are increasingly being used to create information rich 3D models of the as-built or as-is conditions of buildings, infrastructure, and other facilities. These “as-built” Building Information Models (BIMs) are created through a time-consuming and error-prone manual process, which is one key barrier to widespread use of as-built BIMs in industry. This paper outlines our research group’s progress in developing methods to automate the process of creating as-built BIMs and in creating suitable methods to represent and visualize the information that is unique to as-built BIMs.
