Abstract Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) is an efficient and reliable method for collecting
point clouds which have a range of applications in the Architecture, Engineering and …

The significant quality and productivity improvements realized through the adoption of
robotic systems in the manufacturing industries have sparked the interest of construction …

Scan positioning for documenting the geometry of an existing building still relies on the
experience of an expert surveyor. Therefore, it is important to utilize optimal scan positioning …

This paper presents an integrated system that automatically provides detailed as-is semantic
3D models of buildings. The system is able to explore and reconstruct large scenes at a high …

3D models derived from point clouds are useful in various shapes to optimize the trade-off
between precision and geometric complexity. They are defined at different granularity levels …

Digital documentation of large interiors of historical buildings is an exhausting task as most
of the areas of interest are beyond typical human reach. We advocate the use of fully …

This work presents an uncertainty-aware path-planning strategy to achieve autonomous
aerial robotic exploration of unknown environments while ensuring mapping consistency on …

Scan planning of buildings under construction is a key issue for an efficient assessment of
work progress. This work presents an automatic method aimed to determinate the optimal …

An image-based methodology is presented for the automatic generation of geometric
building models at LOD4, incorporating both interior and exterior geometrical information …

This paper proposes a new approach to creating Building Information (BIM) models of
existing buildings from digitized images. This automatic approach is based on three main …
