Current advancements mainly target the data interpretation steps, i.e., the instance and semantic segmentation by developing advanced deep learning models. However, these steps are highly influenced by the characteristics of the laser scanning technologies themselves, which also impact the reconstruction\/evaluation potential. In this work, the impact of different data acquisition techniques and technologies on these procedures is studied. More specifically, we quantify the capacity of static, trolley, backpack, and head-worn mapping solutions and their semantic segmentation results such as for BIM modeling and analyses procedures. For the analysis, international standards and specifications are used wherever possible. From the experiments, the suitability of each platform is established, along with the pros and cons of each system. Overall, this work provides a much needed update on point cloud validation that is needed to further fuel BIM automation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14030582","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,27]],"date-time":"2022-01-27T04:49:51Z","timestamp":1643258991000},"page":"582","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Point Cloud Validation: On the Impact of Laser Scanning Technologies on the Semantic Segmentation for BIM Modeling and Evaluation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5231-2853","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sam","family":"De Geyter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"KU Leuven Geomatics Research Group, Department of Civil Engineering, Technology Cluster Construction, Faculty of Engineering Technology, 9000 Ghent, Belgium"},{"name":"MEET HET BV, 9030 Ghent, Belgium"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7809-9798","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jelle","family":"Vermandere","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"KU Leuven Geomatics Research Group, Department of Civil Engineering, Technology Cluster Construction, Faculty of Engineering Technology, 9000 Ghent, Belgium"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4894-6965","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Heinder","family":"De Winter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"KU Leuven Geomatics Research Group, Department of Civil Engineering, Technology Cluster Construction, Faculty of Engineering Technology, 9000 Ghent, Belgium"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8526-8847","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maarten","family":"Bassier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"KU Leuven Geomatics Research Group, Department of Civil Engineering, Technology Cluster Construction, Faculty of Engineering Technology, 9000 Ghent, Belgium"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3465-9033","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maarten","family":"Vergauwen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"KU Leuven Geomatics Research Group, Department of Civil Engineering, Technology Cluster Construction, Faculty of Engineering Technology, 9000 Ghent, Belgium"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"McKinsey Global Institute (2017).
