Automation in Building Design with Spatial Information

چکیده
While current CAD (Computer-Aided Design) systems provide a variety of data representation schemes (e.g. wire-frames, surface, and solid modeling) and data exchange protocols, they fail to address automation issues in retrieval of building information to be used in different AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) applications. In these CAD systems, topological information (also known as spatial relations) describing the threedimensional spatial relationships between building components is conventionally represented in a manual fashion into data models. The manual data representation, however, inherently is a complex and challenging task due to the wide variety of spatial relationships. This paper outlines a computer-based building design framework with emphasis on the engine capable of automatically deducing topological information of building components, which support various aspects in building design such as constructability analysis, construction planning, and building code compliance checking.

Developing a New Method in Object Based Classification to Updating Large Scale Maps with Emphasis on Building Feature
According to the cities expansion, updating urban maps for urban planning is important and its effectiveness is depend on the information extraction / change detection accuracy. Information extraction methods are divided into two groups, including Pixel-Based (PB) and Object-Based (OB). OB analysis has overcome the limitations of PB analysis (producing salt-pepper results and features with hole...

Having a 3-Dimensional model of high-rise buildings can be used in disaster management such as fire cases to reduce casualties. The fundamental dilemma in 3D building modeling is the unavailability of suitable data sources. However, available cadastral 2D maps could be used as low-cost and attainable resources for 3D building modeling. Smoke will be a great threat to people's health during a f...
