Building Facade Documentation Using Laser Scanning and Photogrammetry and Data Implementation Into Bim

Abstract

ABSTRACT:A project started last year called MORE-CONNECT, which focuses on the renovation of buildings (especially building facades) using prefabricated elements. The aim of this project is to create a competitive solution consisting of a technology and processes which enable fast, cost-effective renovation with minimal difficulties to inhabitants. Significant cost savings in renovation costs lies in the usage of prefabricated elements and the reduction of construction works on site. The precision of the prefabricated element depends on the precision of the construction, project and building documentation. This article offers an overview of the possible methods for building documentation and spatial data transfer into BIM (Building Information Modelling) software. The description of methods focuses on laser scanning and photogrammetry (including RPAS based), its advantages, disadvantages and limitations according to the documented building, level of renovation, situation on site etc. The next part involves spatial data transfer into BIM software. A proposed solution is tested in a case study.

Technical, Financial, Social Barriers and Challenges in Deep Building Renovation: Integration of Lessons Learned from the H2020 Cluster Projects

“…This project offers an overview of the possible methods for building documentation and spatial data transfer into BIM (Building Information Modelling) software. The description of methods focuses on laser scanning and photogrammetry (including RPAS based), its advantages, disadvantages and limitations according to the documented building, level of renovation, and situation on site [30].…”

Comparison of Time-of-Flight and Phase-Shift TLS Intensity Data for the Diagnostics Measurements of Buildings

“…Currently, the use of the intensity value in diagnostic measurements is of special interest. It should also be noted that, apart from diagnostic measurements intensity data can also be used to identify various elements in point clouds, e.g., in 3D façades modelling [33] or cultural heritage documentations [34,35].…”

Uav Photgrammetric Workflows: A Best Practice Guideline

“…Special Task UAVs (combat/decoys systems) (Nex and Remondino, 2014) The dissertation of Eisenbeiss provides an alternate way in which UAVs can be classified, which is by being considered as unpowered or powered, as well as lighter than air or heavier than air (Eisenbeiß, 2009 (Eisenbeiß, 2009) From the literature explored throughout this review, in relation to variables such as low cost and usability, the most common platform used for aerial photogrammetry are rotary wing aircraft. Specifically, multi-rotors, which include quadcopters, hexacopters, and octocopters, were seen in the articles read (Aicardi et al, 2016;Bolognesi et al, 2015;Bolognesi et al, 2014;Faltýnová et al, 2016;Fiorillo et al, 2013;Hashim et al, 2012;Stek, 2016;Sun and Cao, 2015).…”

“…These involved: complimenting the initial survey by capturing inaccessible roof areas or facades over 4 floors (Faltýnová et al, 2016), or using the UAV to complete the survey in its entirety (Aicardi et al, 2016;Bolognesi et al, 2015;Xu et al, 2016). …”
