Abstract
In this chapter, we outline the goals of this work which consist of (i) a faithful reconstruction of 3D scenes (in both indoor and outdoor environments), (ii) data fusion in terms of an enrichment of existing 3D point cloud data by adding external data from multiple, but complementary data sources, and (iii) a semantic reasoning based on all available information. We explain the challenges of recent research in this domain and present our scientific key contributions. Furthermore, we provide a list of our publications on specific parts of our work and present our novel framework for advanced 3D point cloud processing from raw data to semantic objects. Finally, we provide an overview on the different chapters of this book.
