Abstract
Technological development has strongly impacted all processes related to the design, construction, and management of real estate assets. In fact, the introduction of the BIM approach has required the application of three-dimensional survey technologies, and in particular the use of LiDAR instruments, both in their static (TLS-terrestrial laser scanner) and dynamic (iMMS-indoor mobile mapping system) implementations. Operators and developers of LiDAR technologies, for the implementation of scan-to-BIM procedures, initially placed particular care on the 3D surveying accuracy obtainable from such tools. The incorporation of RGB sensors into these instruments has progressively expanded LiDAR-based applications from essential topographic surveying to geospatial applications, where the emphasis is no longer on the accurate three-dimensional reconstruction of buildings but on the capability to create three-dimensional image-based visualizations, such as virtual tours, which allow the recognition of assets located in every area of the buildings. Although much has been written about obtaining the best possible accuracy for extensive asset surveying of large-scale building complexes using iMMS systems, it is now essential to develop and define suitable procedures for controlling such kinds of surveying, targeted at specific geospatial applications. We especially address the design, field acquisition, quality control, and mass data management techniques that might be used in such complex environments. This work aims to contribute by defining the technical specifications for the implementation of geospatial mapping of vast asset survey activities involving significant building sites utilizing iMMS instrumentation. Three-dimensional models can also facilitate virtual tours, enable local measurements inside rooms, and particularly support the subsequent integration of self-locating image-based technologies that can efficiently perform field updates of surveyed databases.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
