Fueled by big data, powerful and affordable computing resources, and advanced algorithms,
machine learning has been explored and applied to buildings research for the past decades …

Abstract 3D point cloud data obtained from laser scans, images, and videos are able to
provide accurate and fast records of the 3D geometries of construction-related objects. Thus …

In this paper, we propose a method for semantic parsing the 3D point cloud of an entire
building using a hierarchical approach: first, the raw data is parsed into semantically …

Built heritage documentation involves the 3D modelling of the geometry (typically using 3D
computer graphics, photogrammetry and laser scanning techniques) and information …

As a revolutionary technology, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is attracting increasing
interest in the fields of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), with outstanding …
