KICT Creates Scan for 3D Vision Data Reverse Engineering

Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology has developed building scan to BIM (Building Information Modeling)-based reverse engineering technology required for 3D geospatial information modeling domains such as digital twin information modeling.
 
Scan to BIM-based reverse engineering technology was studied to prevent errors and rework caused by manual work when modeling shapes or BIM from 3D scan data. Existing reverse engineering work is either done based on a lot of manual work or semi-automatically using expensive overseas software.
 
KICT Research Fellow Dr. Kang Tae-wook and the international joint research team (University of North Florida, Prof Jonghoon Kim., Purdue University, Prof Kyubyung Kang., IUPUI, Prof Dan Koo., The State University of New York, Prof Jongseong Brad Choi) developed Scan to BIM technology customized for each reverse engineering purpose based on accumulated 3D vision, deep learning, and data processing pipeline technologies.
 
This technology automatically segments objects from 3D point cloud data, extracts shape information, and creates BIM objects. Through this, information model creation time and rework required for digital twins can be dramatically reduced.
