Semantic interpretation of architectural and archaeological geometries: Point cloud segmentation for HBIM parameterisation

An introduction to technological tools and process of Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM)

“…One of the main challenges in current HBIM methodology is the inability to quickly characterize complex non-homogenous architectural and structural features of historic structures, which conflicts with the benefit of standard BIM practice to utilize standardized procedures with common parametric objects. The most extensive method for HBIM segmentation of raw data into parametric objects is manual, requiring labourintensive inputs to model non-standard heritage architectural and structural elements (Baik et al 2014;Barazzetti et al 2015;Green and Dixon 2016;Moyano et al 2021). To overcome this challenge, Murphy (2012) applied HBIM by creating a parametric library for the building elements based on the TLS data using the architectural shape rules from the 18th century architectural pattern books.…”

Reality Capture for Historic BIM (HBIM) Development of the Old Polk County Courthouse in Bartow, Florida, USA

“…A major challenge in current HBIM methodology is the inability to quickly characterize complex nonhomogenous architectural and structural features of historic structures, which conflicts with the benefit of standard BIM practice to utilize standardized procedures with common parametric objects. The most extensive method for HBIM segmentation of raw data into parametric objects is manual, requiring labour-intensive inputs to model non-standard heritage architectural and structural elements [18]. Another continued constraint for HBIM is the limited ability to use standardized parametric objects in BIM libraries to accurately model complex geometries typical of historic structures [12].…”

HBIM for supporting the diagnosis of historical buildings: case study of the Master Gate of San Francisco in Portugal

“…The final version of this work could be consulted in: https://doi.org /10.1016/j.autcon.2022.104453 Fornos & Castellano-Román (2020) highlight two specific aspects: the need of having an exhaustive graphic control of the current state of the building to support decision making, and the duplicity or loss of information that is common in CH buildings, that needs to be unified and standardized under a BIM perspective. Moyano et al (2021) emphasize the difficulty of modelling objects in historic buildings with structural deformations and complex shapes as a HBIM weakness, together with the intensiveness, in terms of resources, of developing BIM representations of CH buildings. These weaknesses are commonly pointed out in recent literature, together with the lack of interoperability between software (Bolognesi and Caffi, 2019), the lack of technical know-how on practitioners for the application of the technologies for HBIM (Adegoriola et al, 2021) or the integration of a varied information from multiple sources such as historical documentation, surveys, diagnostics or monitoring that requires continuous updating (Bruno et al, 2018).…”
