Building information modelling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places. Building information models (BIMs) are files (often but not always in proprietary formats and containing proprietary data) which can be extracted, exchanged or networked to support decision-making regarding a building or other built asset.

Laser scanning constitutes the deflection of laser beams. 3D Scanning involves the process of analyzing real-world objects for collecting data of shapes and appearance. The collected data is then used for constructing digital 3D Models, consisting of a polygon mesh or point cloud of geometric samples on the surface of the object.

Practical Scanning Uses for Construction Applications by Tim SchubertMelissa Tiffany
Whether you are embarking on a new facility, addition, or historic renovation, laser scanning can provide detailed information quickly that can be critical to the success of your project. Laser scanning allows the project team to cost
effectively capture existing facility and field conditions to ultimately deliver value through increased certainty, quality, and efficiency. Please join us for a presentation as we share some of our success stories and answer questions
you may have about laser scanning.
Three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning
uses light detection and ranging (LIDAR)
measurement techniques to quickly and
accurately collect data on the size and shape
of an object or environment. Through the
years, the cost to purchase and operate
stationary and mobile scanning has decreased
and is now changing the way 3D data is
captured and interpreted.

3D Scanners and their Economic FeasibilityJeffrey Funk
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to analyze how the economic feasibility of 3D scanners is becoming better through improvements in lasers, camera ICs, and processor ICs. 3D scanning is both a complement to 3D printing and a technology with its own unique applications. 3D printing of complex objects can be done from a CAD database or from a 3D scan where a 3D scan can be done with laser or other sources of white light such as LEDs.
3D scanning can also be done for other purposes. For example, scientists and engineers are using 3D scanners to survey archeological, construction, crime scene, and engineering sites, to document maintenance and repair of engineered systems, and to customize medical and dental products for humans. Improvements in lasers, LEDs, camera chips, ICs, and other components continue to improve the economic feasibility of 3D scanning. Longer wavelength lasers increase the scanning range, better camera chips improve the scanning resolution, and better lasers, camera chips, and processor ICs reduce the scanning time. For example, third generation scanners from Argon, one leading supplier, have 100 times higher resolution and one tenth the scan times of Argon’s first generation system.
For costs, lasers make up the largest percentage followed by camera and processor ICs. For example, lasers make up 80% of the hardware cost for one high-end system with a current cost of $1346 and a price of about $3000. As laser costs fall and as volumes enable smaller margins, the price of such systems will fall.
For the same reasons, low-end systems continue to emerge. These include Microsoft’s Kinect and an app for the iPhone. Microsoft’s Kinect was $150 while the app was only $4.99, both in early 2013. As such low-end systems proliferate, and high-end systems continue to get cheaper, 3D scanning will find new applications.
Edge optimized architecture for fabric defect detection in real-timeShuquan Huang
In textile industry, fabric defect relies on human inspection traditionally, which is inaccurate, inconsistent, inefficient and expensive. There were automatic systems developed on the defect detection by identifying the faults in fabric surface using the image and video processing techniques. However, the existing solution has insufficiencies in defect data sharing, backhaul interconnect, maintenance and etc. By evolving to an edge-optimized architecture, we can help textile industry improve fabric quality, reduce operation cost and increase production efficiency. In this session, I’ll share:
What’s edge computing and why it’s important to intelligence manufacturing
What’s the characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of traditional fabric defect detection method
Why textile industry can benefit from edge computing infrastructure
How to design and implement an edge-enabled application for fabric defect detection in real-time

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

characteristics of a facility creating a shared knowledge resource for information about it
forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life cycle, from earliest conception to
demolition.”

9. What is a laser Scanner?
• Devices which lead a Laser Beam are called Laser Scanners. There are Laser Scanner
heads which can be attached to Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) for the
documentation of sites and buildings.A Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) captures
3D data from objects to give the position in XYZ, vectors etc. of the object.
• A Laser Scanner emits a Laser Beam and then measures the angle and distance of the
return laser beam by accurately measuring the time of the return Laser Beam.
• Laser Scanning means that surfaces or 3D forms are swept over in a horizontal or grid
pattern with a Laser Beam to measure or process these to generate a 3D picture. The
Scan Data can be saved to various file formats for manipulation and analysis.
10. Why use a Laser Scan in Building Information Modelling?
• The Laser Scan Information can be accurate to within 0.01mm, and therefore can be used
to generate an accurate record of a building.
• The information from the scan can be used to generate a Building Information Model of
the existing building.
• Having an accurate Building Information Model at the commencement of a Project will
reduce risk of errors that would otherwise be caused by lack of information in a traditional
survey.
• Additional information that may be requested from the survey will already be in the scan,
and can be extracted to the Building Information Model, e.g. the position of sprinklers, pipe
and duct works, etc.
