Abstract

A three-dimensional (3D) visual monitoring method for a building, a 3D visual monitoring system for a building, and a storage medium. The 3D visual monitoring method for a building includes acquiring a building information modeling (BIM) model and sensor data of a building, the sensor data being collected by a sensor arranged in a building area; integrating the sensor data into the BIM model; and transmitting the integrated BIM model to a display terminal, for use in a monitoring operation of the building.

Claims (23)

1. A three dimensional (3D) visual monitoring method for a building, the method comprising:

acquiring a building information modeling (BIM) model and sensor data of a building, the sensor data being collected by a sensor arranged in a building area;

parsing the acquired BIM model, wherein the parsing the acquired BIM model comprises converting a file format of the acquired BIM model to generate an intermediate data file and generating a parsed BIM model based on the intermediate data file;

integrating the sensor data into the parsed BIM model to define an integrated BIM model; and

transmitting the integrated BIM model to a display terminal, for use in a monitoring operation of the building.

2. The 3D visual monitoring method for a building according to claim 1 , wherein the

integrating the sensor data into the parsed BIM model comprises:

processing the acquired sensor data into data compatible with the parsed BIM model for integration into the parsed BIM model.

3. The 3D visual monitoring method for a building according to claim 2 , wherein the intermediate data file is a data file in a format including a graphics language transmission format (GLTF) or graphics language binary (GLB) format, an open graphics language shading language (GLSL) format, a binary (BIN) format, and an extensible markup language (XML) format, or the intermediate data file is a data file in a format including a GLTF or GLB format, and an XML, format.

4. The 3D visual monitoring method for a building according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor data comprises real-time data and historical data collected by the sensor, and the sensor includes an imaging sensor, an acoustic sensor, a temperature sensor, a smoke sensor, a humidity sensor, an indoor air quality sensor, a gunshot sensor, a light sensor, and a presence sensor.

5. The 3D visual monitoring method for a building according to claim 1 , wherein the integrated BIM model is wirelessly and/or wiredly transmitted to the display terminal, a WEB interface is applied on the display terminal for 3D visual presentation, and the display terminal includes a mobile terminal.

6. A non-transitory storage medium for storing an instruction, wherein when being executed, the instruction implements the 3D visual monitoring method for a building according to claim 1 .

7. A three dimensional (3D) visual monitoring system for a building, comprising:

an acquiring module configured to acquire a building information modeling (BIM) model and sensor data of a building, the sensor data being collected by a sensor arranged in a building area;

a parsing module connected to the acquiring module and an integrating module and configured to parse the acquired BIM model, wherein the parsing the acquired BIM model comprises converting a file format of the acquired BIM model to generate an intermediate data file and generating a parsed BIM model based on the intermediate data file;

an integrating module connected to the acquiring module and configured to integrate the sensor data into the parsed BIM model to define an integrated BIM model; and

a transmitting module connected to the integrating module and configured to transmit the integrated BIM model to a display terminal, for use in a monitoring operation of the building.

8. The 3D visual monitoring system for a building according to claim 7 , wherein

the integrating module is configured to:

process the acquired sensor data into data compatible with the parsed BIM model for integration into the parsed BIM model.

9. The 3D visual monitoring system for a building according to claim 8 , wherein the intermediate data file is a data file in a format including a graphics language transmission format (GLTF) or graphics language binary (GLB) format, an open graphics language shading language (GLSL) format, a binary (BIN) format, and an extensible markup language (XML) format, or the intermediate data file is a data file in a format including a GLTF or GLB format, and an XML format.

10. The 3D visual monitoring system for a building according to claim 7 , wherein the sensor data comprises real-time data and historical data collected by the sensor, and the sensor includes an imaging sensor, an acoustic sensor, a temperature sensor, a smoke sensor, a humidity sensor, an indoor air quality sensor, a gunshot sensor, a light sensor, and a presence sensor.

11. The 3D visual monitoring system for a building according to claim 7 , wherein the transmitting module is configured to wirelessly and/or wiredly transmit the integrated BIM model to the display terminal, a WEB interface is applied on the display terminal for 3D visual presentation, and the display terminal includes a mobile terminal.
