Developments in three-dimensional real worlds promote the integration of geoinformation and building information models (BIM) known as GeoBIM in urban construction. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) integrated with global navigation satellite systems can provide geo-referenced spatial information. However, constructing detailed urban GeoBIM poses challenges in terms of LiDAR data quality. BIM models designed from software are rich in geometrical information but often lack accurate geo-referenced locations. In this paper, we propose a complementary strategy that integrates LiDAR point clouds with as-designed BIM models for reconstructing urban scenes. A state-of-the-art deep learning framework and graph theory are first combined for LiDAR point cloud segmentation. A coarse-to-fine matching program is then developed to integrate object point clouds with corresponding BIM models. Results show the overall segmentation accuracy of LiDAR datasets reaches up to 90%, and average positioning accuracies of BIM models are 0.023 m for pole-like objects and 0.156 m for buildings, demonstrating the effectiveness of the method in segmentation and matching processes. This work offers a practical solution for rapid and accurate urban GeoBIM construction.

Domain adaptation (DA) techniques help deep learning models generalize across data shifts for point cloud semantic segmentation (PCSS). Test-time adaptation (TTA) allows direct adaptation of a pre-trained model to unlabeled data during inference stage without access to source data or additional training, avoiding privacy issues and large computational resources. We address TTA for geospatial PCSS by introducing three domain shift paradigms: photogrammetric to airborne LiDAR, airborne to mobile LiDAR, and synthetic to mobile laser scanning. We propose a TTA method that progressively updates batch normalization (BN) statistics with each testing batch. Additionally, a self-supervised learning module optimizes learnable BN affine parameters. Information maximization and reliability-constrained pseudo-labeling improve prediction confidence and supply supervisory signals. Experimental results show our method improves classification accuracy by up to 20\% mIoU, outperforming other methods. For photogrammetric (SensatUrban) to airborne (Hessigheim 3D) adaptation at the inference stage, our method achieves 59.46\% mIoU and 85.97\% OA without retraining or fine-turning.
