“…Registration of credible, available BIM components is a possible means of responding to this difficulty. The concept of parametric 3D component registration emerged decades ago, for example in computer-aided design (CAD) surface fitting in reverse engineering (Varady et al, 1997), and has been practiced in modeling curved surfaces (e.g., Dimitrov et al, 2016), pipelines (e.g., Bosché et al, 2014;Nguyen and Choi, 2018), secondary elements on walls (e.g., Adán et al, 2018), and historic BIMs (e.g., Barazzetti, 2016). A well-known registration algorithm is the iterated closest point (ICP).…”
