Turning 𝗟𝗶𝗗𝗔𝗥 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘀 into usable 𝗕𝗜𝗠 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀 can take significant manual effort — especially when teams work with large and complex point cloud datasets.
For an AEC client, Timspark developed a custom AI-powered workflow for 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱-𝘁𝗼-𝗕𝗜𝗠 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.
The solution uses supervised machine learning to classify structural elements such as 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀, 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀, 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀, validates the segmented data, and converts it into BIM-ready outputs compatible with 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁, 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗖𝗔𝗗, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗙𝗖-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀.
⚙️ The results:
• approximately 𝟬.𝟴𝟱 𝗺𝗜𝗼𝗨 overall segmentation performance
• around 𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 on modern GPU environments, depending on the dataset and setup
• reduced manual modeling effort
• faster transition from raw LiDAR data to BIM-ready outputs
• reusable conversion logic for similar Scan-to-BIM projects
The goal was not simply to visualize point cloud data, but to turn it into structured information that could become part of a real architectural and engineering workflow.
