Abstract: In order to visually compare the deviation between the actual construction progress and the planned progress during the construction of the building structure by combining the planned building information modeling (BIM) construction process simulation with the progress at the construction site, a projection model-based registration overlay method of construction images and the BIM model was proposed. Firstly, based on the analysis of the camera projection model and the camera calibration method, the coordinate mapping relationship between the construction site image and the camera imaging plane was established. Secondly, the Navisworks application programming Interface was employed to develop the construction image overlay management system, which realized the superposition of the construction image and the BIM model plane field. Then, an evaluation model for judging the registration effect was proposed based on the deformation characteristics between the superimposed image groups. Finally, an empirical analysis was carried out by taking the construction site of a commercial and residential building as an example. The experimental results show that the best way of superimposing is to highlight the to-be-observed BIM components in shading mode, and to set the transparency of the upper image between 35% and 65%; in the case of eyelevel shot, the registration effect is significantly better than that of low-angle shot; the deviation of the superimposed effect of all cameras is within the acceptable error. The proposed method can effectively achieve the registration of the construction image and the BIM model, and visually reflect the deviation between the planned model and the actual construction progress during the construction of the building structure.
