Integration of Terrestrial Laser Scanning Points and 2d Floor Plans Based on Maximum Sequential Similarity

Abstract

ABSTRACT:This paper presents a Maximum Sequential Similarity Reasoning (MSSR) algorithm based method for co-registration of 3D TLS data and 2D floor plans. The co-registration consists of two tasks: estimating a transformation between the two datasets and finding the vertical locations of windows and doors. The method first extracts TLS line sequences and floor plan line sequences from a series of horizontal cross-section bands of the TLS points and floor plans respectively. Then each line sequence is further decomposed into column vectors defined by using local transformation invariant information between two neighbouring line segments. Based on a normalized cross-correlation based similarity score function, the proposed MSSR algorithm is then used to iteratively estimate the vertical and horizontal locations of each floor plan by finding the longest matched consecutive column vectors between floor plan line sequences and TLS line sequences. A group matching algorithm is applied to simultaneously determine final matching results across floor plans and estimate the transformation parameters between floor plans and TLS points. With real datasets, the proposed method demonstrates its ability to deal with occlusions and multiple matching problems. It also shows the potential to detect conflict between floor plan and as-built, which makes it a promising method that can find many applications in many industrial fields. * Corresponding author.

Indoor–Outdoor Point Cloud Alignment Using Semantic–Geometric Descriptor

“…Therefore, semantic objects, such as windows and doors, can be used as prior information to find entity correspondence between the indoor and outdoor models [24,25]. In earlier works, Langyue Wang and Guoho Sohn [26,27] emphasized the benefits of having both semantic and geometric information in the full building model. However, they could only extract the semantic objects from 2D floor plans and use lines of the 3D model section planes for feature detection.…”

“…A schematic of data flow in D-GeoWeb is shown in Figure 12 . To avoid labour-centric processing bottlenecks, a new method has been investigated to integrate indoor and outdoor models using geometric hashing algorithm [ 110 ]. The proposed method aims to integrate 2-D floor plans with terrestrial laser scanning data in an automatic manner.…”
