Abstract
The continuous collection of data on the state of facilities appears increasingly feasible due to advances in sensing technologies. In this context, we explore the application of tag-based location-sensing to reconstruct models of existing buildings. We describe tagbased building representations, which are complete under certain conditions for the automated conversion to boundary-based building representations. The latter have a rich structure and are useful for various construction-related applications. We describe and demonstrate with a system prototype how spatial reasoning methods facilitate the conversion process.
