Managing Semantics Knowledge for 3D Architectural Reconstruction of Building Objects

Abstract

this work aims at bound geometrical detection of 3D objects from a point cloud using semantic descriptors to improve reusability of architectural building reconstruction and aid automatic reasoning in building information modeling (BIM). Based on exploring cognitive origins of spatial semantics representations, semantics conceptualization and classification is proposed for management of architectural objects. The knowledge classification is formalized with transformations among closed world assumption (CWA) and open world assumption (OWA). Initial case study of a building prototype complying with the IFC standard reveals the organization of empirical knowledge rules and semantics scopes both in a bottom up manner of geometry à topologyà semantics, and vice versa.
