Abstract. The use of BIM (Building Information Modeling), a component of the Digital Twin concept, is on the rise, and the need for indoor data is rapidly growing. BIM information is not only used for management purposes, but it is essential to support navigation indoors. Observing building interiors by optical sensors, such as cameras and laser scanners, has challenges as the image scale changes over a broad range in rooms and floors, and then complete coverage is required, requiring images taken from several locations with various camera orientations. Using 360° imaging sensors partially addresses the need for efficient wide FOV observations. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of using a 6-sensor omnidirectional/fisheye camera system and report about its performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
