Conceptual Requirements for the Automatic Reconstruction of Building Information Models from Uninterpreted 3D Models

A multitude of new applications is quickly emerging in the field of Building Information Models (BIM). BIM models describe buildings with respect to their spatial and especially semantic and thematic characteristics. Since BIM models are manually created during the planning and construction phase, they are only available for newly planned or recently constructed buildings. In order to apply the new applications to already existing buildings, methods for the acquisition of BIM models for built-up sites are required. Primary data source are 3D geometry models obtained from surveying, CAD, or computer graphics. Automation of this process is highly desirable, but faces a range of specific problems setting the bar very high for a reconstruction process. This paper discusses these problems and identifies consequential requirements on reconstruction methods. Above, a two-step strategy for BIM model reconstruction is proposed which incorporates CityGML as an intermediate layer between 3D graphics models and IFC/BIM models.
