Geospatial technologies for 3D models.
| No. | Technology | Description and Typical Application | Key References | Number of References |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Remote sensing | Remote sensing data are typically collected using a variety of sensors, including visible and infrared cameras, radar, and light detecting and ranging. Remote sensing provides information about land usage, the earth’s surface, and infrastructure. | [32,68,84,87,95,96,97,98,99] | 9 |
| 2 | GPR | Benefits of using GPR for 3D modeling include improved site understanding, design, and construction in real-time. GPR data allow proper planning to avoid accidental damage to utilities during excavation. | [38,100,101,102] | 4 |
| 3 | GIS | GIS enhances visualization, improves decision-making and flexibility, and increases efficiency, scalability, and accessibility. Users may manipulate and analyze spatial data and create maps. | [63,81,103,104] | 4 |
| 4 | GPS | GPS is a satellite-based navigation system that provides location and time information to users worldwide. It beneficially allows accurate geolocation, spatial reference and scale, real-time tracking, and monitoring. | [105,106,107] | 3 |
| 5 | RFID | Using RFID in conjunction with computer-aided design (CAD), BIM, and other forms (GIS, GPS, and GPR) of 3D modeling may also strengthen jobsite management by reducing errors and rework. | [21,108,109] | 3 |
