Historic Building Information Modelling (H-BIM), Reality Capture and eXtended Reality: Increasing the automation of Scan-to-HBIM-to-XR workflows

历史建筑、构筑物和文物的独特性需要进行地理空间调查，以捕捉细节，以便准确生成数字文化遗产（DCH）。通过现实捕捉，历史建筑信息模型（H-BIM）输出可以模拟条件，为保护实践提供信息，并为数据交换创建平台。此外，这些模型可以构成增强现实和虚拟现实产品的基础，这些产品可以用于严肃游戏、教育娱乐和其他可视化。然而，这一过程需要长时间的手工处理、配置和生成，这限制了它在文化遗产部门的采用。该项目将研究如何将扫描- hbm - xr的几个步骤自动化，并优化工作流程。这将通过审查现有实践的单个步骤和识别可以利用自动化的元素来完成。此外，将对H-BIM生成的XR产品的有效性进行评估，检查在何处可以操纵细节水平（LOD）和信息水平（LOI），为DCH用户生成身临其境的体验。

The unique character of historical buildings, structures and artefacts necessitates geospatial surveys to capture detail for the accurate generation of Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH). Through reality capture, Historic Building Information Modelling (H-BIM) outputs can be produced that simulate conditions, inform conservation practices and create a platform for the exchange of data. In addition, these models can form the basis from which augmented and virtual reality products can be generated for serious-gaming, edutainment and other visualisations. However, this process requires extended periods of manual processing, configuration and generation, which has limited its adoption within the cultural heritage sector. This project will look to examine ways in which the several steps of a Scan-to-HBIM-to-XR can be automated and for workflows to be optimised. This will be done by reviewing the individual steps of existing practices and identifying elements that could utilise automation. In addition, an assessment of the effectiveness for XR products generated from H-BIM will be undertaken, examining where Level-of-Detail (LOD) and Level-of-Information (LOI) can be manipulated to generate immersive experiences for users of DCH.
