Editing 3D data on 2D monitors inevitably leads to a loss of information. This presentation introduces a VR application that enables modeling directly within the pointcloud. Discover how intuitive tools for the precise drawing and capturing of geometries in virtual space can revolutionize traditional workflows—supported by preliminary findings from a recent pilot study.

The master’s thesis investigates the use of artificial intelligence for the automated vectorization of historical survey sketches as a contribution to improving the quality of the official cadastral map. For this purpose, an AI-based processing pipeline for the detection of cartographic objects is developed, combining tile-based object detection with subsequent geometric post-processing. The results demonstrate that historical survey sketches can generally be evaluated automatically. Downstream processing steps make a significant contribution to improving the overall quality of the results.
