From point cloud to BIM: a survey of existing approaches

International audienceIn order to handle more efficiently projects of restoration, documentation and maintenance of historical buildings, it is essentialto rely on a 3D enriched model for the building. Today, the concept of Building Information Modelling (BIM) is widely adoptedfor the semantization of digital mockups and few research focused on the value of this concept in the field of cultural heritage.In addition historical buildings are already built, so it is necessary to develop a performing approach, based on a first step ofbuilding survey, to develop a semantically enriched digital model. For these reasons, this paper focuses on this chain startingwith a point cloud and leading to the well-structured final BIM; and proposes an analysis and a survey of existing approacheson the topics of: acquisition, segmentation and BIM creation. It also, presents a critical analysis on the application of this chainin the field of cultural heritag

Review of the “ as-buit BIM ” approaches

International audienceToday, we need 3D models of heritage buildings in order to handle more efficiently projects of restoration, documentation and maintenance. In this context, developing a performing approach, based on a first phase of building survey, is a necessary step in order to build a semantically enriched digital model. For this purpose, the Building Information Modeling is an efficient tool for storing and exchanging knowledge about buildings. In order to create such a model, there are three fundamental steps: acquisition, segmentation and modeling. For these reasons, it is essential to understand and analyze this entire chain that leads to a well- structured and enriched 3D digital model. This paper proposes a survey and an analysis of the existing approaches on these topics and tries to define a new approach of semantic structuring taking into account the complexity of this chain
