ABSTRACT
Mapping glass objects in 3D space has long raised doubts as to the possibility of obtaining data, and as to the accuracy of that data. The basics of terrestrial laser scanning technology and the principles of the physics of light propagation in the environment of transparent and reflective surfaces, as a rule, contradict the technological possibility of a faithful mapping thereof. Although Building Information Modelling (BIM) of existing objects based on data from terrestrial laser scanning is an increasingly common practice, it is recognized, nevertheless, that the accuracy of the model is primarily reflected in the accuracy of the point cloud obtained as a result of scanning. The article discusses the possibilities of developing a BIM model of an object made in glass technology, based on data obtained with the method of terrestrial laser scanning. The subject of the study was the glazed façade of the complex of buildings belonging to the University of Agriculture in Krakow. The study on the fidelity of mapping glazed surfaces included the acquisition and processing of the point cloud, 3D modelling of the object using the Revit software, and the analysis of the accuracy of mapping the existing status in comparison with architectural design and construction documentation. Based on the research, the possibility of using the BIM process was assessed using TLS data in the process of recreating the geometry of an object made in glass technology. The results of the study showed a significant convergence of the façade model geometry with the actual course of the structure, which, however, can be attributed to the development methodology, i.e. the accuracy of 3D data acquisition, the registration process, the filtration procedure, the method of parametric modelling of the façade structure itself, and ultimately fitting three-layer glazing into the model of that structure.
