ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was for determine the application Terrestrial

Laser Scanner (TLS) in the as-built model buildings in three dimensions based

on the Level of Detail 3 (LOD3). Analysis on the measurement of the

dimensions of the building was carried out to determine the accuracy of the final

results obtained. The aim of this study is to generate a 3D model to help with as-

built work, construction monitoring, and for the other user. TLS is used for data

acquisition in this study is to achieve the measurement accuracy and more

efficient. In addition to reducing hazardous and safety issues that occur in the

field. The usual data acquisition methods needs labor intensive and it is time

consuming. 3D Model as built building is resulting in Level of Detail 3 (LOD3),

can be used for the management of construction, during operation and also in the

maintenance phase related to engineering work. With the resulting model, this

may increase work efficiency and provide motivation to the person in charge to

ensure that work is carried out in accordance with the requirements of employers.

Typically the two-dimensional (2D) as-built plans or data is very popular, but in

fact it is not so efficient and is less friendly to be used by project owners,

landlords and others to review the status of development projects and to see the

changes that occur in the construction system. Based on the final results, the

model has met the conditions set by CityGML, which is 0.5m accuracy for 3D

model in the LOD3. Furthermore, the use of 'plug-ins' were proposed are

necessary to enable the switch point cloud data to be processed in the modeling

phase of the software modeling. In addition, it is also useful to reduce the size of

raw data without reducing the quality of the resulting data.

ABSTRAK

Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk menentukan aplikasi Terrestrial Laser

Scanner (TLS) bagi memodelkan as-built bangunan dalam tiga dimensi (3D)

berdasarkan Level of Detail (LOD3). Analisis terhadap pengukuran dimensi

bangunan itu telah dijalankan untuk menentukan ketepatan hasil akhir yang

diperolehi. Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk menjana model 3D untuk membantu

dengan kerja-kerja seperti yang terbina, pemantauan pembinaan, dan untuk

pengguna lain. TLS digunakan untuk perolehan data dalam kajian ini adalah

untuk mencapai ketepatan pengukuran dan lebih cekap. Selain mengurangkan

isu-isu berbahaya dan keselamatan yang berlaku di lapangan. Kaedah perolehan

data biasa memerlukan tenaga kerja yang ramai dan ia memakan masa. Model

3D sebagai bangunan yang dibina adalah menyebabkan (LOD3), boleh

digunakan untuk pengurusan pembinaan, semasa pengendalian dan juga dalam

fasa penyelenggaraan yang berkaitan dengan kerja-kerja kejuruteraan. Dengan

model yang dihasilkan, ini boleh meningkatkan kecekapan kerja dan

memberikan motivasi kepada orang yang bertanggungjawab untuk memastikan

bahawa kerja-kerja dijalankan mengikut keperluan majikan. Biasanya pelan as-

built berbentuk dua dimensi (2D) adalah sangat popular, tetapi sebenarnya ia

tidak begitu berkesan dan kurang mesra untuk digunakan oleh pemilik projek,

tuan-tuan tanah dan lain-lain untuk mengkaji semula status projek-projek

pembangunan dan untuk melihat perubahan yang berlaku dalam sistem

pembinaan. Berdasarkan kepada keputusan akhir, model yang dijana telah

memenuhi syarat yang ditetapkan oleh CityGML, iaitu ketepatan 0.5m untuk

model 3D dalam LOD3. Tambahan pula, penggunaan ‘plug-ins’ yang

dicadangkan adalah perlu bagi membolehkan data titik awan di aktifkan untuk

diproses di dalam fasa pemodelan didalam perisian permodelan. Selain itu, ia

juga berguna untuk mengurangkan saiz data mentah tanpa mengurangkan kualiti

data yang terhasil.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Improvement in the study of spatial data acquisition technology like

photogrammetry and laser scanning, which enable more efficient acquisition three

dimensional (3D) of data collection in survey work, like in the construction site than

with traditional or conventional techniques. In this study, the term of as-built is

referring to the actual state of a built building at any time during its life cycle,

particularly during its service life (Son et al., 2015). The 3D as-built data which is

acquired from field work on construction site can used to establish the geometric

properties for building façade. Currently, as-built data obtained also needed for

management purposes while projects under construction, after completion of the

project, and for the operation and maintenance phase related to civil engineering. For

example in the Building Information Management (BIM).

For the purpose of monitoring in site, determine the quality control and the

progress of work, a particular application such as a comparison of the building 'as-

built' in the actual construction phase of the project with the state ‘as –designed’ state

should be done as defined in the contract. As an example of the studies conducted, the

progress of the construction activities will be compared with the 3D model 'as-built'

Page 18: APPLICATION OF TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNER FOR …eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/78541/1/CheKuAhmadFuadMFGHT2017.pdf · untuk mencapai ketepatan pengukuran dan lebih cekap. Selain mengurangkan

data obtained from the construction site along with design information contained on

the building layout plan information. (Pettee, 2005).

In visualization purposes, 3D as-built generated visual presentation is referred

to the facade of the building based on the Level of Detail (LOD3) which recommended

by City Geographic Mark-Up Language (CityGML). Recently, the Open Geospatial

Consortium (OGC) has been established to determine the CityGML 3D city model in

the 'five LOD. It has categorized the 3D model from the LOD0 to LOD4 for efficiency

in the visualization (OGC, 2012). On Figure 1.1 shows the building structure in

formed from LOD1 to LOD4.

Figure 1.1: Level of Detail for 3D Building Model (Fan & Meng, 2012).

From Figure 1.1 above, each LOD represent a 3D visualization model building can be

categorized according to the strength of each model. In order to generating this model,

the method of data observations requires special methods and equipment. Therefore,

observations using the laser scanner are selected.

The measurement using Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) now become an

attraction that grew up. Applications that can be generated based on data TLS very

extensive and require much research. One of the main advantages of TLS is a method

Page 19: APPLICATION OF TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNER FOR …eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/78541/1/CheKuAhmadFuadMFGHT2017.pdf · untuk mencapai ketepatan pengukuran dan lebih cekap. Selain mengurangkan

3

that is quick and fast in collecting data, and be able to observe a large region in 3D

(Zogg, 2008). The use of TLS in measurement and data collection was very good

because it has a promising technique and potential to acceptable as a new

measurement technology (Schulz, 2007).

1.2 Problem Statement

The conventional method still used for every on-site surveying work.

Although there are many studies about the importance of 3D systems data, there have

not been applied in the as-built s work yet. Usually printed two dimension (2D) plan

of ABs is generated as the reference, wherein every correction, addition or any

changes are noted on the plan. This happens due to various reasons, such as lack of

staff, time constraints, work commitments, and budget, but did not assess its needs

despite the contractual requirement to provide it.

An as-built plan is usually required by the construction management for the

purpose of monitoring progress of work or for the payment of claims. There is some

contractor’s excellent performance in providing quality as-built records, but the

numbers is slightly. The rest did not execute it at its best, where their work was sloppy,

illegible, incomplete, or difficult to understand. This may be due to a lack of

motivation in the implementation of the work. In addition, there is no standardization

of as-built as a reference.

From this reason, it is very important to researchers or practitioners to develop

new methods and technologies for use in the production monitoring. Usually, at the

beginning of a project development, design documents provided do not give full

details of the facility, it left some aspects thereof to the owners and contractors to

make a decision later. Since the decision was delayed, it becomes difficult to capture

Page 20: APPLICATION OF TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNER FOR …eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/78541/1/CheKuAhmadFuadMFGHT2017.pdf · untuk mencapai ketepatan pengukuran dan lebih cekap. Selain mengurangkan

4

as-built condition from the entire facility or one of its components in as-built

documentation. This situation is common in the case of mechanical, electrical, and

plumbing (MEP) system is not fully designed (Bosché et al. 2015). In addition, it is

sometimes difficult to detect and record changes based on decisions made during

construction and thus can produce a final product that deviates from the state as

designed. Finally, it can be harder to detect and record adequately in the as-built

documentation if irregularities are more subtle and not as a result from the conscious

decision (e.g., deviations due to poor workmanship).

The study will conducted for the purpose of implementing new technology in

the as-built work process. This is because there is still no as-built database that can be

used for further study whether to review the construction work which has been

completed, for the in-future development and construction work and for future

reference in case of any accident or disaster. Advancement in the study of spatial

technology in construction sites such as the use of TLS, enabling more efficient 3D

data acquisition in the field of civil infrastructure as-built compared with conventional

techniques. (Son et al. 2015).

1.3 Objective

Aim of the study is to visualize and generate the 3D model to assist as-built

survey services, construction monitoring, and for further user. The objectives for the

study are:

1. To generate 3D model of as-built building details from point cloud provided

by TLS.

2. To determination the accuracy of as-built model by comparing to existing as-

design.

1.4 Research Questions

To meet the objectives of the study, this study will be conducted to answer the

following questions:

a. How to scan building efficiently using TLS?

b. How to optimize the quality of the point cloud?

c. How to generate 3D model in LOD3?

1.5 Scope

For the study, UTM Eco-Home on the campus of UTM Johor Bahru as shown

in Figure 1.1 is selected as the study location. Based on Office of Corporate Affair of

UTM, the construction of house on the concept of "Sustainable Development" was

led by Prof. Dr. Muhd Zaimi Abd Majid built with the cooperation of Institute for

Smart Infrastructure and Innovative Construction (ISSC), UTM Construction

Research Centre (UTM-CRC), Pusat Kajian Alam Bina Dunia Melayu (KALAM) and

Centre of Electrical Energy Systems (CEES) and sponsored by a few parties such

Bluescope Lysaght, Stagno Tech and Chee Kong Engineering & Construction Sdn

Bhd (www.news.utm.my).

The focus in this study is to create a 3D model of building in LOD3.

Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) as shown on Figure 1.2 is used as a measuring tools

for data collecting. Leica C10 is the selected instrument for data collecting purpose.

TLS will produce 3D data in point cloud format. Then the Cyclone software is used

for processing stage. Point cloud format is used to generate the 3D detail model of

building in a LOD3 by referring to CityGML standard.

Figure 1.3: Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) instrument.

Final result as for the project is an as-built building model in LOD3. The

model would be managed and be ready for visualization in SketchUp 2016. In this

study, the 3D as-built model also can be manipulated by user rather than just for

visual. Based on the Blueprint provided by CRC team, the 3D model of the building

will be reviewed and compared based on the characteristic of the building that has

been built.

To ensure that the results obtained meet the required accuracy, quantitative

accuracy assessment of dimensional measurement data of the building was carried

out. Thus, hypothesis test results obtained are shown in the chapter of results and

analysis.

1.6 Significant of Study

Significance of the study is constructed through observation of the deficiencies and

improvements that can be improved through of the study to be conducted. The

significance of this study is as follows:

i. The technology used in this study can provide the professional surveyor

with instruments that can be cost-effective to survey a large complex

sites, without compromising the contractors building activities ongoing.

With this new technology, it can also provide true, accurate and reliable

as-built data and also can save time in the field.

ii. Lately much going cases of negligence and safety issues in the workplace,

especially in the construction site. This has increased awareness of safety

issues in the workplace. Regarding security concerns, using TLS can

avoid to capture data from a dangerous site, such as a site surveyor in a

high site, heavy traffic roads and railroad tracks directly. TLS able to

observe from a distance that allowed because it applies the concept of

contact free measurements device.

iii. Using point cloud data, it would be give all stakeholders the ability to access

rich 3D data. Point cloud data would be invaluable in the future to resolve

the dispute owners, resident engineers and contractors with valid

evidence regarding the placement of structures. For field surveyors, they

can complement the 'as-built' survey work quickly and economically.

Finally, non-technical users can also manipulate clouds of points and get

a deeper insight into the project or site, much bigger than the pictures or

videos that are commonly available.
