Beyond Crude 3D Models: From Point Clouds to Historical Building Information Modeling via NURBS

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 8740))

Abstract

This paper presents a complete methodology for HBIM generation based on NURBS derived from a set of point clouds. NURBS combined with profiles and anchor points allow one to model the shape of complex historical objects surveyed with laser scanning techniques. As NURBS are mathematical functions defined through mathematical vectors, they can be converted into BIM objects in order to add semantic information.
