Abstract EN
3D Visualization provides a mean for communicating different construction activities to diverse audiences.
The scope, level of detail, and time resolution of the 3D visualization process are determined based on the targeted audiences.
Developing the 3D visualization requires obtaining and merging heterogeneous data from different sources (such as BIM model and CPM schedule).
The data merging process is usually carried out on ad hoc basis for a specific visualization case which limits the reusability of the process.
This paper discusses a framework for automatic merging of heterogeneous data to create a visualization.
The paper describes developing an ontology which captures concepts related to the visualization process.
Then, heterogeneous data sources that are commonly used in construction are fed into the ontology which can be queried to produce different visualization scenarios.
The potential of this approach has been demonstrated by providing multiple visualization scenarios that cover different audiences, levels of detail, and time resolutions.
