Consistent Density Scanning And Information Extraction From Point Clouds Of Building Interiors, Kuldeep Kumar Sareen Jun 2012

Consistent Density Scanning And Information Extraction From Point Clouds Of Building Interiors, Kuldeep Kumar Sareen

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Over the last decade, 3D range scanning systems have improved considerably enabling the designers to capture large and complex domains such as building interiors. The captured point cloud is processed to extract specific Building Information Models, where the main research challenge is to simultaneously handle huge and cohesive point clouds representing multiple objects, occluded features and vast geometric diversity. These domain characteristics increase the data complexities and thus make it difficult to extract accurate information models from the captured point clouds.

The research work presented in this thesis improves the information extraction pipeline with the development of novel algorithms for …
