From 3D Point Cloud to an Intelligent Model Set for Cultural Heritage Conservation

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

One of the most notable aspects of this work is the way it addresses the complexity of interdisciplinary documentation and analysis required for cultural heritage conservation, while emphasizing the importance of adopting sustainable and productive practices. The focus on interoperability, compatibility with advanced analytical tools, and open-source formats for effective data integration demonstrate a commitment to excellence and innovation in the field of heritage conservation.

Furthermore, the presentation of two specific use cases for heritage conservation enabled by BIM eloquently illustrates the practical applicability of the proposed methodology in real-world scenarios, highlighting the versatility and transformative potential of BIM technology in heritage management and preservation.

In summary, this document represents a significant contribution to the field of cultural heritage conservation, offering a comprehensive and practical vision for the application of BIM in this context. We hope that this work will inspire future research and projects in this exciting and crucial area of study.

Reviewer 2 Report

Combining Historical Building Information Modeling (HBIM) with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) neeeds to be pointed out as current trend, since it offers numerous advantages in heritage preservation: (1) HBIM provides a detailed 3D digital representation of historical buildings, enabling accurate documentation of architectural elements, structural components, and materials. When integrated with GIS, this information can be geospatially referenced, facilitating comprehensive analysis of the building's context within its surroundings; (2) the fusion of HBIM and GIS enables better decision-making in conservation efforts, as it allows stakeholders to assess the impact of proposed interventions on both the building itself and its broader urban environment; (3) the combination enhances communication and collaboration among multi stakeholders (including architects, historians, urban planners, and even policymakers) by providing a common platform for data sharing and visualization; (4) this integration promotes more sustainable and informed approaches to heritage management, ensuring preservation of for future generations while supporting contemporary urban development goals.
