Abstract

Within the construction sector, conventional Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodologies are predominantly based on design-phase data, frequently omitting the incorporation of construction-phase information. This exclusion may result in BIM models that do not accurately represent the actual structure. The precision of steel structure component assembly during construction has a substantial influence on the overall structural performance. Our study introduces sophisticated algorithms facilitating the accurate reconstruction of real steel structures from point cloud data, thereby generating high-fidelity models through the meticulous extraction and analysis of geometric data. Employing techniques such as point cloud alignment, cluster segmentation, plane fitting, RANSAC, and PCA, we ensure the reliability of data extraction and the reduction of dimensionality necessary for structural analysis. The resultant reconstruction process provides a detailed representation of steel components, which is critical for precise BIM modeling and comprehensive inspection of steel structure assembly. This approach enhances the precision of construction processes and establishes a robust basis for the completion of construction projects in their final stages.
