Three-Dimensional Wireframe Reconstruction for Non-Manhattan-Shaped Point Clouds

Tzu-Yi Chuang, Hui-Yin Ng, Yo-Ming Hsieh

Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering, 38(6) :

(SCIE, IF: 6.9, Rank: 9/139, 2022)

https://doi.org/10.1061/JCCEE5.CPENG-5965

This study presents a feature relationship algorithm (FRA) for reconstructing 3D wireframes of non-Manhattan objects from segmented point clouds. Rather than extracting boundaries, the FRA identifies vertex and edge nodes and employs an innovative linking strategy to create accurate wireframes, even with missing data. The FRA adapts to various shapes, including curves, cones, pyramids, cylinders, and octagonal prisms. Validations on synthetic and Light Detection and Ranging scan data highlight the FRA's precision and superiority over baseline methods in shape representation.

Change Component Identification of BIM Models for Facility Management based on Time-variant BIMs or Point Clouds

Tzu-Yi Chuang, Min-Jung Yang

Automation in Construction 147 (2023): 104731

(SCIE, IF: 10.517, Rank: 1/138)

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.autcon.2022.104731

This study proposes a common framework for both Scan-vs-BIM and BIM-vs-BIM to realize change detection for updating BIM geometric models. The framework can be carried out for point cloud or BIM datasets, in which the framework conveys threefold messages of inspected components between query and reference data: locations, semantic labels, and changing states, namely missing, moving, newly added, existing, and uncertain items.

Learning and SLAM based Decision Support Platform for Sewer Inspection

Tzu-Yi Chuang, Cheng-Che Sung

Remote Sensing 12.6 (2020): 968.

(SCIE, IF: 5.349, Rank: 30/202)

https://doi.org/10.3390/rs12060968

This study developed a compact platform for sewer inspection, which consisted of low-cost components such as infrared and depth cameras with a g-sensor. Except for visual inspection, the platform not only identifies internal faults and obstacles but also evaluates their geometric information, geo-locations, and the block ratio of a pipeline in an automated fashion.

Dense Stereo Matching With Edge-Constrained Penalty Tuning

Tzu-Yi Chuang, Hao-Wei Ting, Jen-Jer Jaw

IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters 15.5 (2018): 664-668.

(SCIE, IF: 5.343, Rank: 11/87)

10.1109/LGRS.2018.2805916

This letter presents a gradual SGM cost aggregation that comprises a penalty tuning process. To be more specific, we propose an additional penalty parameter and a weighting formula to handle edge pixels with depth variations, acquiring satisfactory depth estimation by preserving sharp geometric edges and maintaining smoothness without raising extra noise.
