Reference number : GC-2017-Q3-00466, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Lichti, Derek (University of Calgary), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Alberta, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : Delays and cost over-runs in large capital construction projects are often caused by the dimensional_x000D_
incompatibility of pre-fabricated components such as pipes and couplings. The verification of these_x000D_
components' dimensions is recognized as a critical process to ensure smooth, on-budget project execution and_x000D_
to eliminate the need for rework. Components must be compared to the original design to ensure as-built_x000D_
compliance and virtually matched with the construction site to ensure proper fit upon delivery. Terrestrial laser_x000D_
scanning instruments provide a means to rapidly capture accurate, three-dimensional (3D) datasets (point_x000D_
clouds) of pre-fabricated components. Current practice for transforming point clouds into 3D models requires_x000D_
manual intervention by experienced users. This project aims to automate the process of producing 3D models_x000D_
from point cloud data. Geometric primitives such as disks and cylinders will be recognized from the point_x000D_
cloud data contaminated by data clutter, occlusions and noise. The efficient implementation of the proposed_x000D_
software system will benefit the supporting organization and the Canadian construction industry as a whole in a_x000D_
number of ways. Providing an automatic means for checking dimensional compliance will lead to reduced cut_x000D_
and weld rework will be reduced, more effective use of project manager time, higher quality inspections and_x000D_
minimized construction claims and disputes., program purpose french : Delays and cost over-runs in large capital construction projects are often caused by the dimensional_x000D_
