Workflow from point cloud to BIM

Abstract: The title of this thesis is 'Workflow from point cloud to BIM'. Thus, an attempt is made to present and analyse all the steps followed in such a process. The building used as a case study is U-Building which is located at KTH campus. Briefly, a report is made on the various methods of mapping existing buildings. Also, the principles of operation of 3D laser scanners are presented as well as an analysis of BIM technology. Furthermore, it is analysed the process of creating a 3D representation of the building in the form of a point cloud as well as the process of creating the 3D model with the help of two software packages.
