5. Conclusions
This paper presented a methodology for the generation of asbuilt parametric models from dense point clouds able to reveal the actual shape of existing constructions. Starting from a set of registered point clouds, NURBS curves that form a rigid curve network were extracted in a semi-automated way by considering the logic of construction of the building. Then, NURBS surfaces driven by both network and point cloud were generated to reconstruct the shape of complex objects along with their geometric anomalies. As NURBS are mathematical functions defined by numerical coefficients, a rigorous mathematical parametrization becomes feasible and allows the creation of parametric objects. The kind of parametrization shown in this work is optimal for constructive elements that require thickness parametrization with multiple layers.
