The article complements the InnovAIte project by examining affordable methods for acquiring spatial data from existing indoor environments. It evaluates point clouds generated from 360° video and photogrammetric processing in comparison with reference terrestrial laser scanning data.

The results indicate that this approach is suitable for rapid and accessible documentation of building interiors, while its limitations in terms of accuracy, noise and edge definition must be considered. For the InnovAIte project, the findings provide a basis for deciding when low-cost image-based capture can be used for digital building documentation, spatial data layers and further integration into data-driven building management solutions.
