Abstract

This research uses experimental research to study a construction progress evaluation using 3D point cloud modeling technology. This is because inspection and control of construction work is an important step to achieve quality work that meets the planned project objectives. The researcher is therefore aware of the importance of evaluating construction progress and studying the application of 3D point cloud modeling technology as well. This research study has the objective to compare the performance of imaging equipment used to collect data, including mirrorless cameras, mobile phone cameras and tablet cameras. This research collected photographic data of box-shaped objects and then processed them into a 3D point cloud model. and compare the dimensions of the three-dimensional point cloud model, including width, length, height, area and volume with the actual object dimensions obtained from the measurements. As a preliminary experiment, a comparison between the size of real objects and the size of 3D object models created from point clouds was performed. In conclusion, the results of finding the error value of the three-dimensional modeling experiment of the box when comparing the distance, area, and volume of FUJIFILM X-A2 camera, iPhone 11 Pro Max mobile phone camera, and iPad 8th generation tablet camera were not more than ±1.0 percent, which the error value is within the acceptable accuracy criteria for evaluating the work progress.
