BIMStruct3D: A Fully Automated Hybrid Learning Scan-to-BIM Pipeline with Integrated Topology Refinement

Automatic generation of Building Information Models (BIM) from building scans is a key challenge in architecture and construction. We present a modular pipeline for generating IFC-compliant BIM from 3D point clouds. The hybrid approach combines learning-based semantic segmentation with topology-aware geometric reconstruction to model structural elements accurately. We propose vIoU, adapting voxel-based overlap evaluation to Scan-to-BIM by enabling holistic, instance-matching-free comparison of reconstructed and ground-truth models. We release the German Hospital dataset (DeKH), including high-resolution point clouds, ground truth BIMs, and semantic annotations. Experiments on DeKH and CV4AEC datasets show significant improvements over a RANSAC-based baseline, demonstrating robustness and scalability.

PanoSAMic: Panoramic Image Segmentation from SAM Feature Encoding and Dual View Fusion

Existing image foundation models are not optimized for spherical images having been trained primarily on perspective images. PanoSAMic integrates the pre-trained Segment Anything (SAM) encoder to make use of its extensive training and integrate it into a semantic segmentation model for panoramic images using multiple modalities. We modify the SAM encoder to output multi-stage features and introduce a novel spatio-modal fusion module that allows the model to select the relevant modalities and best features from each modality for different areas of the input. Furthermore, our semantic decoder uses spherical attention and dual view fusion to overcome the distortions and edge discontinuity often associated with panoramic images. PanoSAMic achieves state-of-the-art (SotA) results on Stanford2D3DS for RGB, RGB-D, and RGB-D-N modalities and on Matterport3D for RGB and RGB-D modalities. https://github.com/dfki-av/PanoSAMic
