Towards automatic construction of photorealistic BIM window elements from single-picture input

Recent progress in computer vision and the pervasive use of Building Information Models (BIM) in the construction industry provide countless opportunities for decision making in architectural design. It allows capturing real-world geometrical data for assessing design options, such as windows products for replacement on the façade of an existing...

An approach for data extraction, validation and correction using geometrical algorithms and Model View Definitions on building models

The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) cover a wide variety of subdomains in the construction industry. Model View Definitions (MVD) enable to specify a subset of the IFC schema to assess the content of a model for specific use cases and information exchanges. However, IFC and MVD paradoxically complexify the workflow since it requires a deep...
