Semantic 3D Modelling for Infrastructure Asset Management Semantic 3D Modelling for Infrastructure Asset Management Master’s Thesis Department of Built Environment School of Engineering Aalto University Espoo, 1st of November 2016 M.Sc Sanna Makkonen Supervisor: Prof. Kirsi Virrantaus Advisor: M.Sc (Tech) Sonja Vilpas Aalto University, P.O. BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Abstract of master's thesis Author Sanna Makkonen Title of thesis Semantic 3D Modelling for Infrastructure Asset Management Degree programme Degree Programme in Geomatics Major Geoinformation Technology Code IA3002 Thesis supervisor Professor Kirsi Virrantaus Thesis advisor(s) Sonja Vilpas Date 03.11.2016 Number of pages 73 Language English Abstract Infrastructure asset management has long been based on 2D based geographical information sys- tems. However, 3D based solutions have been taking over the market and, for example, other infra- structure management phases, planning and constructions have started taking advantage of these 3D based solutions. Many studies have shown that 3D facilitates the understanding of the models which improves communication and leads to more efficient working methods. This thesis aims to outline the rationale, current practices and benefits of semantic 3D modelling in infrastructure asset management. In other words, the thesis suggests what the rationale for intro- ducing semantic 3D modelling into infrastructure asset management is, what kind of technical so- lutions or practices have been provided and what are the benefits of introducing semantic 3D mod- elling into asset management. In the end, change factors were outlined to illuminate what should be done to enable semantic 3D based infrastructure asset management. Methods used in this thesis consists of literature, software review and expert interviews. Literature was used mainly to show the rationale for the semantic 3D modelling in infrastructure asset man- agement. Software review outlined the situation of current existing practices and expert interviews enlightened the benefits and change factors to carry out the implementation in practice. The results show a clear need for 3D based infrastructure asset management. However, the software still needs to be improved and processes clarified to make semantic 3D modelling in infrastructure asset management reality.

Useat tutkimukset ovat osoittaneet, että 3D helpottaa mallien ymmärtämistä ja näin parantaa eri osapuolten välistä kommunikaatiota tehden samalla työprosessista tehokkaampaa. Tämän työn tarkoituksena on osoittaa perusteet, nykyiset 3D pohjaiset infra-alan ohjelmistot ja hyödyt 3D pohjaiselle omaisuudenhallinnalle. Toisin sanoen työssä selvitetään miksi 3D pohjaiset järjestelmät pitäisi ottaa käyttöön infraomaisudeen hallinnassa, millaisia teknisiä työkaluja tätä varten on jo olemassa ja mitä hyötyä 3D:n käyttöönotosta olisi infraomaisuuden hallinnalle. Loppujen lopuksi työssä määritetään niin kutsutut muutostoimet, jotka määrittävät mitä käytännön toimia tulisi tehdä, jotta 3D pohjaisesta infraomaisuudenhallinnasta voisi tulla nykypäivää. Työssä käytetyt menetelmät koostuvat kirjallisuuskatsauksesta, ohjelmistoarvioinnista ja asiantuntijahaastatteluista. Kirjallisuutta hyödynnettiin semanttisen 3D mallinnuksen perusteiden määrittelyssä. Ohjelmistoarviointia käytettiin käymään läpi nykyisten 3D pohjaisten infra-alajärjestelmien tilaa ja kelpoisuutta 3D pohjaiseen infraomaisuuden hallintaan. Asiantuntijahaastatteluiden avulla määriteltiin semanttisen 3D infraomaisuudenhallinnan hyötynäkökulma sekä tarvittavat muutostoimet tavoitteeseen pääsemiseksi. Tulokset osoittavat selvän tarpeen 3D pohjaiselle infraomaisuuden hallinnalle. Tarpeesta huolimatta olemassa olevat ohjelmistot eivät kuitenkaan vielä tarjoa riittäviä työkaluija tarkoitusta varten. Myös työskentelyprosessit ja tietomallit kaipaavat kehitystä yltääkseen 3D pohjaisen infraomaisuuden hallinnan vaatimalle tasolle. Avainsanat GIS, BIM, infraomaisuuden hallinta, semanttiset 3D mallit Acknowledgement This thesis has been made as part of my studies for Master of Science (Tech) in Aalto University. The idea for the thesis was based on the discussions with my col- leagues, especially with Tarmo Savolainen, Sonja Vilpas and Heikki Halttula, at Vi- asys VDC. First, I want to thank my supervising professor Kirsi Virrantaus (Aalto University) for giving me good advice and new viewpoints to the subject. Second, I want to thank my thesis advisor Sonja Vilpas (Viasys VDC Oy) for discussions on the topic. Naturally, I also want to thank Tarmo and Heikki for inspiring me to choose this topic for my thesis. Additionally, I want to thank everyone who participated in the interviews conducted in this thesis. Each discussion was enlightening and gave me new aspects for the topic. The interviews enabled me to introduce very practical viewpoint to complete the research which was otherwise based on literature and software review. Therefore, all interviewees were very important part of this thesis. Finally, I want to show my gratitude to anyone, who has had to deal with me during this thesis writing time, or who has been there to listen to my problems. You’re the real MVP.

Email: [email protected] Abstract: Nowadays construction projects are more and more delivered by Building Information Models instead of traditional 2D drawings. This allows for information rich projects but this information is, in many cases, accessible only for those who are able to use a BIM authoring software. In the current market, both the top levels (CEO and executives) and the low levels (on site and off site operators) of an asset or a facility management company are not able to use a BIM authoring tool, thus to use the valuable information stored in the model. Moreover, BIM models that work fine for the design stage will be of no use during the operational stage if not correctly created. A research has been carried on to cope with these problems and the preliminary results are shown in this paper. Asset managers’ work procedures and needs have been analyzed to identify what information is needed and when in the operational stage and then an IFC compliant standard has been adopted to store data.

  • Visualisation and Generalisation of 3D City Models
    Visualisation and Generalisation of 3D City Models Bo Mao August 2010 TRITA SoM 2010-08 ISSN 1653-6126 ISRN KTH/SoM/-10/08/-SE ISBN 978-91-7415-715-4 © Bo Mao 2010 Licentiate Thesis Geoinformatics Division Department of Urban Planning and Environment Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM, Sweden ii Abstract 3D city models have been widely used in different applications such as urban planning, traffic control, disaster management etc. Effective visualisation of 3D city models in various scales is one of the pivotal techniques to implement these applications. In this thesis, a framework is proposed to visualise the 3D city models both online and offline using City Geography Makeup Language (CityGML) and Extensible 3D (X3D) to represent and present the models. Then, generalisation methods are studied and tailored to create 3D city scenes in multi- scale dynamically. Finally, the quality of generalised 3D city models is evaluated by measuring the visual similarity from the original models. In the proposed visualisation framework, 3D city models are stored in CityGML format which supports both geometric and semantic information. These CityGML files are parsed to create 3D scenes and be visualised with existing 3D standard. Because the input and output in the framework are all standardised, it is possible to integrate city models from different sources and visualise them through the different viewers. Considering the complexity of the city objects, generalisation methods are studied to simplify the city models and increase the visualisation efficiency. In this thesis, the aggregation and typification methods are improved to simplify the 3D city models.

Hamilton May 2011 Major Subject: Anthropology iii ABSTRACT Experimental Techniques in the Recording and Display of Archaeological Materials. (May 2011) Samuel Allen Koepnick, B.A., University of Nevada, Reno Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. C. Wayne Smith In the area of the display of data and images from archaeological sites there is very little uniformity. Universities, museums, and institutions use a variety of techniques and software. Because of the lack of a common framework for storing information gathered from the field a great deal of time is lost converting between disparate file formats and learning new program structures. The goal of this project is to create an open platform to accomplish the specialized tasks of recording and displaying data from the field, specifically dealing with the unique problems associated with sites in an underwater context. The final result should be freely available and adaptable.

The definitions of “Service Bricks”, “Connectors”, “Tools”, “Services” (as well as their subtypes) are presented in detail. A comprehensive taxonomy of the above entities is provided in terms of type, use, provider, category, instance and other important properties. Deployment and Packaging rules for them are also initially addressed, although these will be further refined thoroughly during technical and development work packages WP3, WP4 and WP5. Most importantly, a methodology for the combination of “Service Bricks” and other building blocks into “Solutions” is introduced as input for the ensuing Task 6.2 for the PROPHESY-SOE, since the ultimate end-product of the entire WP6 is the composition of “optimized turn-key solutions in Predictive Maintenance”, in order to target specific KPIs at first, and to subsequently offer cost-benefit calculations of the deployment.

Its forms spanned from being systems with limited 3D capabilities to complete and complex Web-Based Virtual Worlds. The advent of the 3D Web provided great opportunities to museums by giving them an innovative medium to disseminate collections’ information and associated interpretations in the form of digital artefacts, and virtual reconstructions thus leading to a new revolutionary way in cultural heritage curation, preservation and dissemination thereby reaching a wider audience. This audience consumes 3D Web material on a myriad of devices (mobile devices, tablets and personal computers) and network regimes (WiFi, 4G, 3G, etc.). Choreographing and presenting 3D Web components across all these heterogeneous platforms and network regimes present a significant challenge yet to overcome. The challenge is to achieve a good user Quality of Experience (QoE) across all these platforms.
