Integrated Sequential As-Built and As-Planned Representation with D4AR Tools in Support of Decision-Making Tasks in the AEC/FM Industry

The significant advancement in digital imaging and widespread popularity of digital cameras for capturing a comprehensive visual record of construction performance in the architecture, engineering, construction, and facility management (AEC/FM) industries have triggered an extensive growth in the rate of site photography, allowing hundreds of images to be stored for a project on a daily basis. Meanwhile, collaborative AEC technologies centering around building information models (BIMs) are becoming widely applied to support various architectural, structural, and preconstruction decision-making tasks. These models, if integrated with the as-built perspective of a construction, have great potential to extensively add value during the construction phase of a project. This paper reports recent developments from research efforts in (1) automated acquisition of as-built point-cloud models from unordered daily site photo collections and geo-registration of site images, (2) automated generation of four-dimensiona...
