Digital Construction: Reality Capture, Automated Inspection, and Integration to BIM

Mission

ISPRS ICWG II/Ib aims to address challenges in digital construction through the application of spatial technologies. To this purpose, the WG aims to promote developing new approaches and strategies in the context of digital construction for spatial data acquisition and reality capture (e.g., various sensors, algorithms, and technologies such as drones, robotic platforms, SLAM algorithms, positioning, imaging, and laser scanning), Data processing and 3D modeling (e.g., automated registration, assembly, scan-to-BIM, change detection, object localization, detection and tracking), and specific applications in construction engineering (e.g., automated inspection, digital twins, additive manufacturing in construction, progress monitoring, and safety hazard identification).                                         

These interdisciplinary topics will be elaborated in close collaboration with researchers and industry experts in photogrammetry, sensor systems, surveying engineering, computer vision, robotics and AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) sector. To this end, joint events and scientific communications with relevant communities like IAARC, FIG will be organized.
