Case Study: IMAGINiT Technologies improves Scan to BIM cylinder recognition performance with AMC Bridge

IMAGINiT Technologies boosts cylinder recognition speed 4x with AMC Bridge

IMAGINiT Technologies, a division of Rand Worldwide and a major implementer of Autodesk software, faced a challenge with the cylinder recognition tool in its Scan to BIM software. The existing tool could only process one cylinder at a time and had very low performance on large data sets, which hindered the 3D reconstruction of complex sites like refineries and made the tool less competitive. To address this, IMAGINiT engaged vendor AMC Bridge for a solution.

AMC Bridge applied its expertise in 3D data modeling and the PCL library to overhaul the tool. The solution involved optimizing the core segmentation algorithm for a 4x efficiency gain, enabling parallel processing, and implementing sophisticated pre- and post-processing of point cloud data. The work delivered by AMC Bridge exceeded expectations, resulting in a final product that recognized multiple cylinders simultaneously and surpassed competing solutions in both accuracy and speed, all while being delivered on schedule and under budget.
