As far as the reconstruction of large-scale built environments is concerned, the reconstruction effect still needs to be further improved. Considering that most of the structures are piece-wise planar/linear in the built environment, this paper proposes a method for reconstructing the geometric structure of the scene that display its appearance precisely. This method focuses on reconstructing objects with plane and edge structures, such as buildings, to achieve the reproduction of their geometry. The paper introduces a new dense reconstruction algorithm, the patch based stereo matching algorithm to refine a sparse point cloud to produce a dense point cloud. This method further merges three-dimensional (3D) line into the dense point cloud to optimize the geometric line of the model. The experiment demonstrates that the improved method has a flawless reconstruction effect on the geometric primitives of buildings.","PeriodicalId":126601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 European Conference on Computing in Construction","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125453498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Logic of knowledge","authors":"N. Nisbet","doi":"10.35490/EC3.2019.215","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35490/EC3.2019.215","url":null,"abstract":"Construction and the built environment sector has often be represented as being functionally unsustainable and inherently inefficient. External judgements are made on its poor financial stability, poor environmental performance and social failure. Internal assessments focus on poor satisfaction of client requirements, regulatory compliance and a failure to learn from recommendations and advisory material. This paper is intended to address the problem of failure to accumulate and apply knowledge systematically, leaving the sector dependant on tacit knowledge, experience and habits. There are plenty of research publication outlining compliance checking solutions based on labour-intensive programming of relatively specific problems, their accumulation into desktop tools (Solibri 1998 onwards) and one example of an integrated solution. The Singapore Governments ePlanCheck (1998-2004) system demonstrated that by bringing together regulatory domain experts, BIM schema experts and procedural coding skills, a solution was developed that accurately checked design proposals against the then current zoning, spatial and architectural building compliance regulations. The apparent success of this implementation led to optimism that other regulations regime could be addressed in the USA, Norway and UK. Successful proof-of-concepts were made for Scottish apartmentnoise performance regulations, and of delivering prioritised advice on mitigating the risk of falls for the UK Health and Safety Executive. The reality was that the solution failed to address two key success criteria: efficiency and acceptability. Requirements are specific to an individual project, and regulations are revised on a 2-5 yearly cycle. It would never be feasible to apply the three-party resources used in the Singapore project continuously to maintain, letalone extend, the scope. In the USA building code compliance is specified and administered at the level of 3000 independent counties. The acceptability of the results was also challenged in that there was no demonstrable connection between the authoritative text of the regulations and the results. Whilst other sectors, such a finance and medicine, are able to apply considerable resources to individual sub-problems, construction needs a generic approach so as to exploit the limited investment in process improvement and R&D effectively. Operable knowledge is the knowledge that can be used systematically to drive design and engineering development and to the verify compliance systematically. The knowledge gap is how to render knowledge operable.","PeriodicalId":126601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 European Conference on Computing in Construction","volume":"180 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123853876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, those descriptions lack unified approaches for linking geometry descriptions to building elements, derived properties and derived other geometry descriptions. To bridge this gap, we analyse the basic characteristics of geometric dependencies and propose the Ontology for Managing Geometry (OMG) based on this analysis. In this paper, we present our results and show how the OMG provides means to link geometric and non-geometric data in meaningful ways. Thus, exchanging building data, including geometry, on the Web becomes more efficient.","PeriodicalId":126601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 European Conference on Computing in Construction","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129491839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

VR-related applications are increasing in number and scopes, with a focus on communication and analysis of design intents. On the other hand, procedural challenges still obstacle their effective adoption for such purposes. The paper proposes a preliminary set of procedural considerations to take into account when immersive VR is used for feedback collection in design reviews. It is the result of an inductive approach associated with qualitative research methods based on seven semi-structured interviews with representative design stakeholders (i.e., twenty-four), including clients, designers, end-users and an accessibility expert. They were asked to evaluate VR adoption for the usability-focused analysis of a new school building. The framework represents a first step to address in a systematic way the practical implications related to VR-aided design reviews, especially when clients and end-users are involved.","PeriodicalId":126601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 European Conference on Computing in Construction","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127320126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It does not take advantage of emerging Augmented Reality (AR) or Mixed Reality (MR) techniques to intuitively aid the building design. The current study probes into the topic bringing building geometry information together with simulation results into AR/MR environments. After introducing some precedent work in the literature, authors recap the typical workflow and report its application on two case studies. The first case study displays the structural simulation of a high-rise building in AR, while the second case study shows the daylight simulation of a two-story house within MR. At last, reflections are conducted and future possibilities are identified. Authors deem that, in the aim of this study, only retrofitting projects are suitable for MR. The present work can help practitioners better understand this new approach, offering the added value of using AR/MR for building design.","PeriodicalId":126601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 European Conference on Computing in Construction","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127729161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, building trust among partners is a necessary requirement to deliver a successful project on time and on budget. This paper investigates the main factors that build inter-firm trust in large construction projects and explores the disruptive effect that the Internet of Things (IoT) and Blockchain (BC) could have in this process. The findings are based on an in-depth analysis of the literature and ten one-to-one telephone and face-to-face interviews. The findings contribute to the literature by suggesting that a Blockchain-enabled IoT ecosystem has the potential to generate inter-firm trust at the front-end, during contract development, and throughout the construction phase. Moreover, the data denotes the need for further technological adoption in the construction industry as a means of smoothing the transition from relational trust to technological trust.","PeriodicalId":126601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 European Conference on Computing in Construction","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116757628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
