The Urban Heat Island (UHI) caused by building densification greatly impacts the sustainability of urban residents and environment. Therefore, it is necessary to utilize envelope space buildings for green retrofitting so that they can contribute mitigating UHI effect. In particular, existing historic has become an effective means improve resilience cities in modernization process. this study, V...

Three dimensional building models have become important during the past years for visualization of touristic or historic objects. Detailed facade models are essential for realistic impressions on a terrestial observer. Such models require both a geometric component that describes the shape of the building or parts of it as well as a texture component that provides color information and depicts ...

The article analyzes typical residential buildings in Ukraine and European countries. highlights the main shortcomings architectural planning solutions of industrial period. It is proved that houses built 1955-1990 are morally obsolete. To provide recommendations for renovation existing standard housing stock Ukraine, author analyzed reconstruction countries: Czech Republic, France, Germany, fo...

The use of digital image analysis in architectural photogrammetry allows the automation of monotonous low-level tasks and makes the interpretation of facades much easier. Different segmentation methods for a computer assisted mapping of joint contours are discussed. Exemplary the application of the watershed transform is described and a combined watershedmethod will be presented, which is well ...

Scene interpretation systems are often conceived as extensions of low-level image analysis with bottom-up processing for high-level interpretations. In this paper we show how a generic high-level interpretation system can generate hypotheses and start top-down analysis. This allows for spatially focussed and specifically parametrised image analysis steps. Experimental results of the recognition...

Facades are perceived as such a body shape in their urban surrounding, beauty and significance felt through the impact we feel towards representativity shape’s features. The aesthetic of buildings’ facades has been subject study for set researchers that tried to adjust expressions deal with an concept is characterized by subjectivity. This identifying physical properties interface most affectin...

Abstract With international awareness of the need to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, Danish government set a target be fossil fuel-free by 2050. To achieve that, existing buildings will retrofitted with energy-saving technologies such as improved thermal insulation. In Denmark, larger mass building stock from around 1850 1940s is preservation worthy. The construction typically solid brick wa...

Different models of social influence have explored the dynamics of social contagion, imitation, and diffusion of different types of traits, opinions, and conducts. However, few behavioral data indicating social influence dynamics have been obtained from direct observation in ‘natural’ social contexts. The present research provides that kind of evidence in the case of the public expression of po...
