Abstract

The article presents an efficient and robust algorithm to produce an enhanced octree data structure for topological queries in Building Information Modeling applications. The major benefit of the presented approach is that also poor-quality geometric data can be used as input for the developed spatial query functionality. Additionally, the runtime behavior of the algorithm is optimized in a way that it makes it suitable for rapid queries in a real world scenario. To achieve this, the octree data structure is supplemented with a grid structure which enables fast information propagation from any leaf cell to its neighbors.
