From point cloud to 4D Thermal Model: Leveraging In-Situ Measurements from a Low-Cost Mobile Mapping System in Rabat, Morocco 1: College of Geomatic Sciences and Surveying Engineering, Institute of Agronomy and Veterinary Medicine (IAV), Rabat 6202, Morocco; 2: University of Strasbourg, INSA Strasbourg, CNRS, ICUBE UMR 7357 Laboratory, TRIO Team, 67000 Strasbourg, France; 3: University of Strasbourg, Faculty of Geography and Planning, CNRS, ICUBE UMR 7357 Laboratory, TRIO Team, 67000 Strasbourg, France Thermal imaging provides valuable insights into building performance and urban environmental dynamics, yet integrating thermal data with 3D models remains challenging, particularly with limited equipment. This paper presents a comprehensive workflow from point cloud acquisition to 4D thermal model creation using a novel low-cost mobile triple-camera system in Rabat (Morocco). The methodology leverages a unique configuration with a central thermal camera positioned between two RGB cameras. First, terrestrial laser scanning data is processed to create 3D models suitable for thermal analysis and future microclimate simulations. The exterior orientation of RGB images is determined using Structure from Motion, then transferred to thermal imagery through the fixed geometric relationship between cameras, achieving high spatial accuracy with average deviations of control points measuring only 2.9 cm. Temperature data extracted via the FLIR SDK is projected onto the 3D model using ray-casting, with a weighted integration method resolving overlapping data based on view angle quality. The resulting spatiotemporal model enables analysis of dynamic thermal behavior, revealing how vegetation and architectural elements influence facade temperatures throughout the day. Initial results demonstrate clear temperature distributions corresponding to shading patterns and solar exposure. This framework creates spatially continuous ground truth data for upcoming comparisons with LASER/F (LAtent, SEnsible, Radiation / Fluxes) simulation outputs, establishing a robust validation methodology for urban microclimate modelling. | |
