ABSTRACT: With the development of 3D city model and 3D Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the models of buildings provide many applications like urban planning, disaster assessment, virtual visualization, and others. For city models production, aerial images and photogrammetry are definitely important data source and technology for building reconstruction, since rich geometric and semantic i...

To satisfy new legislation, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration implemented a national façade insulation program encompassing 2,500 dwellings exposed to high levels of road traffic noise. Thereby, the road owner brought the equivalent noise levels from road traffic in compliance with a new indoor limit of 42dB. Cost-effectiveness analyses show that façade insulation was the least expensiv...

While net-zero carbon buildings have been the focus of many previous studies, existing research tends to on low-rise in temperate climates with cold winters. However, much current building activity across world, particularly China, is located hot and humid subtropical typically features high-rise buildings. This review article systematically surveys recent literature advanced façade systems tha...

The utilization of sacrificial layers to strengthen civilian structures against terrorist attacks is great interest engineering experts in structural retrofitting. cladding are designed be attached the façade absorb impact explosion through facing plate and core layer progressive plastic deformation. Therefore, blast load striking non-sacrificial structure could attenuated. idea this study cons...

The focus of this study is on the impact of solar radiation reflected from the building façade to a pedestrian. The possibility of using high-reflectance technology on building façades was evaluated by using a two-dimensional simple building façade model. The effectiveness of applying retroreflective materials to building façades was also evaluated in regards to avoiding adverse effects on pede...

We propose a novel interactive framework for modeling building façades from images. Our method is based on the notion of coherence-based editing which allows exploiting partial symmetries across the façade at any level of detail. The proposed workflow mixes manual interaction with automatic splitting and grouping operations based on unsupervised cluster analysis. In contrast to previous work, o...

We describe two image datasets for learning and evaluating interpretations of man-made scenes. The datasets consist of (A) 110 and (B) 200 fully annotated images from the building façade domain. Dataset A emphasises prominent object structures, and has been manually double-checked. Dataset B puts more emphasis on single object recognition on a larger set of classes, and has not been double chec...

Abstract The facciata double meaning as façade and outer appearance embodies the Italian city-state’s political, cultural, social values that Leon Battista Alberti outlined in his famed De re aedificatoria libri decem (1485). This concept lies at heart of Florence’s urban fabric: one early cradles Renaissance architecture originated from artistic expenditure prosperous families including, Medic...

This paper presents an automatic method for gable roof detection in terrestrial images. The purpose of this study is to refine the roofs of a 3D city model automatically derived from aerial images. The input images consist of geo-referenced terrestrial images acquired by a mobile mapping system (MMS). The raw images have been rectified and merged into seamless façade texture images (one texture...

Interest points on the building façade are the basic element for 3-D building modeling and texturing. Grouping these points to the same or separate buildings is a fundamental process for establishing building models and detecting building boundaries. The grouping process is generally achieved by analyzing the geometric relation and the distances between the points in the object space, which req...
