Comparison of three 3D scanning techniques for paintings, as applied to Vermeer’s ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’

A seventeenth-century canvas painting is usually comprised of varnish and (translucent) paint layers on a substrate. A viewer’s perception of a work of art can be affected by changes in and damages to these layers. Crack formation in the multi-layered stratigraphy of the painting is visible in the surface topology. Furthermore, the impact of...

Moving Towards a Fully Operational 3D Digital Cadastre: Victoria, Australia

Population is growing and due to urbanisation, cities are expanding horizontally and vertically to accommodate more population. Managing these crowded cities with many high-rises and infrastructures below and above the ground surface requires efficient systems. However, the current land and property registration systems mainly use two...

A BIM-Driven Approach to Managing Common Properties within Multi-Owned Developments

There has been a significant growth of multi-owned developments in cities around the world. These developments include a combination of different types of residential and commercial uses of urban spaces. Common property areas in multi-owned developments typically include a wide range of shared spaces and facilities. Clear and correct delineation...

Connecting LADM and IFC Standards – Pathways towards an Integrated Legal-Physical Model

In 3D digital land and property registration systems, simultaneous representation of both legal spaces and physical elements can aid understanding of the spatial extent of property rights, restrictions and responsibilities (RRR). The integration of legal and physical objects can be done only at visualisation level without defining any semantic...
