Using deep learning for enrichment of heritage BIM: Al Radwan house in historic Jeddah as a case study

Building information modeling (BIM) can greatly improve the management and planning of historic building conservation projects. However, implementing BIM in the heritage has many challenges, including issues with modeling irregular features, surveying data occlusions, and a lack of predefined libraries of parametric objects. Indeed, surface features can be manually distinguished and segmented depending on the level of human involvement during data scanning and BIM processing. This requires a significant amount of time and resources, as well as the risk of making too subjective decisions. To address these bottlenecks and improve BIM digitization of building geometry, a novel deep learning based scan-to-HBIM workflow is used during the recording of the historic building in historic Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The proposed workflow enables access to laser scanner and unmanned aerial vehicle imagery data to create a complete integrated survey using high-resolution imagery acquired independently at the best position and time for proper radiometric information to depict the surface features. By employing deep learning with orthophotos, the method significantly improves the interpretation of spatial weathering forms and façade degradation. Additionally, an HBIM library for Saudi Hijazi architectural elements is created, and the vector data derived from deep learning-based segmentation are accurately mapped onto the HBIM geometry with relevant statistical parameters. The findings give stakeholders an effective tool for identifying the types, nature, and spatial extent of façade degradation to investigate and monitor the structure.

Performance Evaluation of Engineering Management Based on Hierarchical Analysis Approach

With the increasing scale and complexity of engineering projects globally, scientific and effective performance evaluation of engineering management has become a key factor in improving project success. The purpose of this paper is to assess the performance level of engineering management in a systematic and hierarchical way by applying hierarchical analysis (Hierarchical Analysis) to improve the efficiency of project execution, reduce the risk and enhance the likelihood of project success. Typical examples of water conservancy project management in Yunnan were selected to quantitatively evaluate water conservancy project management by applying the hierarchical analysis method with comprehensive assignment. Combined with the evaluation results and the typical problems of the current traditional water conservancy project management, relevant suggestions for the implementation of the property-based management model are put forward.

Organizational and economic initiatives in the management of energy saving projects in the conditions of the autonomy of educational institutions, digitalization and decentrallization of the system of providing energy innovations

The article is devoted to issues of organizational and economic initiatives in managing energy-saving projects in the conditions of the autonomy of educational institutions, digitalization, and decentralization of the energy innovation system. Based on the study, the ordering of the triangular energy response model was proposed, which leads to the controllability of energy-saving projects. The study aimed to study organizational and economic initiatives in the management of energy-saving projects in the conditions of the autonomy of educational institutions, digitalization, and decentralization of the system providing energy innovations. The article substantiates the feasibility of implementing energy-saving projects under the conditions of autonomy of educational institutions. The complementary and fundamental role of energy conservation, energy efficiency, and renewable energy sources in making a significant contribution to meeting the energy needs of budgeted educational institutions by reducing the amount of fossil fuels and emissions is indisputable. As the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere continues to rise, reaching record levels, despite the continuous reduction of emissions, it is becoming increasingly clear that the development of a clear and planned strategy for the management of energy conservation projects is necessary to achieve long-term climate goals. It has been proven that Ukraine's state policy can influence the speed and form of the energy transition to a zero-carbon future thanks to the energy potential of renewable energy sources and the implementation of energy-saving projects at the regional or local level. The inclusion of initiatives in the transition to renewable energy sources and the reduction of fossil fuels and emissions thanks to the regional energy efficiency policy is a critically important step for the sustainable development of both regions and the state in the conditions of the autonomy of educational institutions, digitalization, and decentralization of the system of providing energy innovations. It is proposed to consider the potential of renewable energy sources in Ukraine and the multi-level perspective of the transition theory to renewable energy sources (macro-, meso--- and micro-levels). Empowering communities to manage projects promotes the perception of energy conservation, sustainability, and ownership, which are essential for the successful implementation of energy conservation projects and usually refers to efforts to adopt or optimize environmental, economic, and social aspects. Implementing energy-saving projects is sometimes called a triple practical result, necessary in digitalizing and decentralizing the system providing energy innovations. Keywords: organizational and economic initiatives, project management, energy saving, autonomy of educational institutions, digitalization, decentralization, system, provision of energy innovations.

Integration of photogrammetry and laser scanning for enhancing scan-to-HBIM modeling of Al Ula heritage site

The study highlights the significance of combining imaging and laser scanning techniques to enrich point clouds used for reliable documentation and Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM). The fusion-based approach was used to document Al Ula Heritage site in Saudi Arabia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with well-preserved tombs from the first century BC. The HBIM parametric modeling process requires a detailed survey to collect all geometric data. Although terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) are an efficient tool for 3D recording of heritage scenes in a short period of time, the data resolution is insufficient for identifying and evaluating the spatial distribution of surface weathering forms. Furthermore, combining scans collected at different times may pose difficulties in recording the texture. These issues have an impact on the subsequent 3D modeling phase as well as the efficiency of interpreting and tracing surface features in the Scan-to-BIM process. The proposed workflow using imagery data to enhance both the geometry and coloring of laser point clouds. In addition to texture mapping, the high-resolution imagery is used to densify the laser data using dense image matching, allowing for a clear reading of the surface features, and serving as a useful tool to identify the type, extent, and severity of façade damage. TLS and imagery data were collected separately, with images taken at the best time and location for realistically recording of surface details. Finally, the captured images are orthorectified by TLS geometric information and used for HBIM texturing to provide realistic decay mapping. The results showed that the combination of TLS and photogrammetry allowed for the efficient collection of 3D data, which improved tracing and digitizing HBIM with complete mapping information. The research findings will be greatly useful in the management and planning of historic building conservation and restoration projects.

Application of data mining technology and intelligent information technology in the construction and management of the water conservancy project in Area A

Abstract At present, the construction and management efficiency of water conservancy projects is low, hydrological prediction errors are common, and the utilization rate of water resources is low. Based on this, this paper applies data mining technology and intelligent information technology to water conservancy project management. This will help to better study the construction and management of hydraulic projects. By adopting data mining technology, valuable data in hydraulic engineering can be extracted and analyzed. Through careful analysis and evaluation of the data, we can predict the runoff of reservoir hydrology in Area A. The experimental results show that the data mining technology can be used to predict the runoff of Reservoir A from January to December 2020. In addition, using machine learning techniques to make predictions, the prediction error rate varies by 6.2%. The research shows that the use of data mining technology can improve the efficiency of water conservancy project construction and management, and improve the utilization rate of the project.
