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、结构和文物的独特特征要求进行地理空间调查，以捕捉准确生成数字文化遗产(DCH)的细节。通过现实捕捉，历史建筑信息建模(H-BIM)输出可以模拟条件，为保护实践提供信息，并创建一个交换数据的平台。此外，这些模型可以作为生成增强和虚拟现实产品的基础，用于严肃的游戏、教育娱乐和其他可视化。然而，这一过程需要较长时间的人工处理、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到HBIM到XR的几个步骤自动化并优化工作流程。这将通过审查现有做法的各个步骤并确定可以利用自动化的要素来实现。此外，还将对从H-BIM生成的XR产品的有效性进行评估，研究在哪里可以操纵细节级别(LOD)和信息级别(LOI)来为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.
