Laser data and optical data have a complementary nature for three dimensional feature extraction. Efficient integration of the two data sources will lead to a more reliable and automated extraction of three dimensional features. This paper presents a semiautomatic building facade reconstruction approach, which…

'Przemysław Musialski'] We introduce a neuro-symbolic transformer-based model that converts flat, segmented facade structures into procedural definitions using a customdesigned split grammar. To facilitate this, we first develop a semi-complex split grammar tailored for architectural facades and then generate a dataset…

Ventilated facades are becoming an increasingly popular solution for external part of walls in the buildings. They may differ in many elements, among others things: claddings (fiber cement boards, HPL plates, large-slab ceramic tiles, ACM panels, stone cladding), types of substructures, console supports, etc. The main…

This paper introduces a high-resolution building facade dataset-hznu_facade, designed to provide rich data support for urban modeling, digital twin city construction, and facade analysis tasks. The dataset comprises facade images of 624 buildings from Hangzhou, China, covering diverse architectural styles from both…

A genetic algorithm and an artificial neural network are deployed for the design of a dynamic multi-layered façade system that adapts in real-time to different weather and occupants’ needs scenarios. The outputs are a set of different performances of the façade insulation cushions, optimized by the previous run of the…

'Andreas Hartmannsgruber'] Building facade parsing, which predicts pixel-level labels for building facades, has applications in computer vision perception for autonomous vehicle (AV) driving. However, instead of a frontal view, an on-board camera of an AV captures a deformed view of the facade of the buildings on both…

The lack of reliable building-level data remains an obstacle for advancing urban sustainability and circular economy practices. Here, we present URBAN-AI, a workflow that employs multimodal artificial intelligence to infer building material and facade characteristics from street-level imagery. We apply the workflow…

Real-to-sim reconstruction for embodied AI requires geometry that is useful for collision reasoning, navigation, and agent-environment interaction, not only photorealistic novel-view synthesis. However, close-range urban facades are difficult for video-to-3D reconstruction: glass, reflections, repeated windows, and…

Dust accumulation remains a persistent constraint on the energy performance and durability of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) windows in semi-arid environments. This paper assesses a facade-scale system of enhancing the operation of BIPV glazing in dusty and high-irradiance climates by introducing interventions…

Globally consistent semantic digital twins require centimeter-accurate and geographically transferable 3D facade segmentation. However, progress in facade parsing is limited by the lack of large-scale, standardized benchmarks for evaluating cross-domain generalization. Existing datasets are geographically narrow…

reconstruct semantic LoD3 building models Authors: ['Olaf Wysocki' 'L. Hoegner' 'Uwe Stilla'] Abstract. Although highly-detailed LoD3 building models reveal great potential in various applications, they have yet to be available. The primary challenges in creating such models concern not only automatic detection and…

Our goal is to leverage the power of deep neural networks to recognize visual patterns from images of facades such that they can accurately approximate the PCI. In other words, we train a deep learning-based model for classification, receiving a facade image as input and outputting a vector of probabilities for all…

Point Cloud Facade Semantic Segmentation Benchmark Dataset Authors: ['Olaf Wysocki' 'Yue Tan' 'Thomas Froech' 'Yan Xia' 'Magdalena Wysocki' 'L. Hoegner' 'Daniel Cremers' 'Christoph Holst'] Facade semantic segmentation is a long-standing challenge in photogrammetry and computer vision. Although the last decades have…

Mosses display resilience and ecological importance, significantly shaping their environments. With their strong attachment to challenging substrates, mosses can serve as viable options for green living facades. In our initial steps towards developing sensing and computing living facades using moss, we analysed the…

Common swifts (Apus apus) nest in cavities and cracks in building facades and roofs. It is a declining species in Europe, partly due to the loss of suitable breeding habitat caused by urban building renovation (e.g. thermal insulation). In several countries, renovation projects must quantify the amount of habitat…

Understanding how the brain represents the identity of complex objects is a central challenge of visual neuroscience. The principles governing object processing have been extensively studied in the macaque face patch system, a sub-network of inferotemporal (IT) cortex specialized for face processing (38). A previous…

Building reliable and robust quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) models is a challenging task. First, the experimental data needs to be obtained, analyzed and curated. Second, the number of available methods is continuously growing and evaluating different algorithms and methodologies can be arduous.…
