INDUSTRY PROBLEM

This project intends to address the industry gap between conventional data collection/processing approaches and increasing demands for intelligent decision support during infrastructure construction.  This becomes a critical challenge when managing large-scale and complex infrastructure construction projects, such as airports, roads, railways, bridges and tunnels.  Currently, field data are gathered manually for post data processing. This practice is labour intensive, costly, inefficient, and subject to human errors.  Although the reality capture techniques, such as photogrammetry and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) mapping, have advanced substantially in recent years, the adoption rate of building information modelling (BIM) in infrastructure construction projects remains low in Australia.
