Digital Twin (DT) concept has recently emerged in civil engineering; however, some
problems still need to be addressed. First, DT can be easily confused with Building …

Automating the process of construction progress monitoring through computer vision can
enable effective control of projects. Systematic classification of available methods and …

With the pervasive use of Building Information Modelling (BIM), lean principles, digital
technologies, and offsite construction, the industry is at the cusp of this transformation. The …

Informatization and automatization are considered mainstream trends in the future
architecture-engineering-construction/facility management (AEC/FM) industry. Building …

Abstract 3D point cloud data obtained from laser scans, images, and videos are able to
provide accurate and fast records of the 3D geometries of construction-related objects. Thus …

This study had two main aims:(1) to provide a comprehensive review of terrestrial laser
scanner (TLS) point cloud registration methods and a better understanding of their strengths …

Recent technological developments and advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled
sophisticated capabilities to be a part of digital twins (DTs), virtually making it possible to …

In recent years, the integration of digital technologies has grown rapidly in the field of
thermal comfort and energy efficiency for buildings. The concept of a digital twin …

Concrete defect information is of vital importance to building maintenance. Increasingly,
computer vision has been explored for automated concrete defect detection. However …

We present a novel, data driven approach for solving the problem of registration of two point
cloud scans. Our approach is direct in the sense that a single pair of corresponding local …
