A Proposal of Spatial Indexing Algorithm for Effective Visualization of GIS Based-BIM Data

Ji-Eun Kim and Chang-Hee Hong

Abstract—The facility maintenance using BIM data reflects a need for maintenance system that considers efficient operation of administrators and managers. This system which takes advantage of the vast amount of 3D facility data is able implement the interoperate navigation and visualization. However, the quick and smooth visualization process for a large-scale BIM data is an important factor to be solves in future. The purpose of this study is to design the spatial indexing algorithm for effective visualization of BIM data based on GIS, and propose the spatial indexing method reconfigures an IFC schema structure. It is designed with the scenario of the coordinate transformation, so the implemented algorithm is verified with IFC sample data.

Index Terms—Building information modeling, geographic information system, OcTree, spatial indexing, visualization.
