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
