Lidar to HBIM for Analysis of Historical Buildings

Abstract

The design, documentation and construction processes in Architecture, Engineering and Construction industries (AEC) have been undergoing majör changes in recent years with Building Information Modeling (BIM). The use of BIM togetherwith 3D laser scanning (LIDAR) technologies has brought great innovations by going beyond traditional methods in studies carried out in historical environments. With the developed of used technologies together with Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM), efforts documentation and rehabilitation of historical buildings have rapidly increased in the last ten years, especially in European countries. This article provides a framework for the implementation of LIDAR to HBIM related to heritage buildings in Turkey. An approach is carried out a process that is a workflow from document historic structures with 3D laser scanning and subsequently generation of a HBIM model. The process of producing an different detailed of HBIM models for provide the documentation and restoration needs of historical buildings from point clouds and processed point clouds for using different platforms was carried out as a case study.
