Three-dimensional digitization technologies have been proved as reliable methods for detailed and accurate spatial data collection from existing cultural heritage. In addition, the point segmentation techniques are particularly relevant contour detection classification of unstructured cloud. This paper describes an approach to obtain 2D CAD-like visualizations complex geometry photogrammetric m...

The capabilities of complex software products such as CAD/CAM systems are strongly supported by basic information technologies related with data management, visualization, communication, geometry modeling and others related with the development process. These basic information technologies are involved in a continuous evolution process, but over recent years this evolution has been dramatic. Th...

The components and claddings of low-rise building are usually destroyed first during typhoon disasters in coastal areas. Roof accessory structures can change the flow pattern on the roof, thus effectively reducing the wind load on the roof surface and the damage to the low rise buildings. Two types of aerodynamic mitigation plates, i.e., (1) 0.3 m high full length roof-edge plate, and (2) 0.3 m...

Architectural massing is the primary subset of the early stages of built form creation. In this empirical study, we set out to better understand the specific cognitive processes contributing to massing. We found that these processes help the designer better manage the overall design process through strategies that facilitate a discourse between designer and her graphic representations. These st...

The Cantonese sentences in (2) illustrate these claims. They denote past events and there are no markers attached to the verb (subclaim (1a)). Subclaim (1b) is illustrated by the minimal pair in (2b) and (2c): the latter describes a current situation and the former, with the temporal adverb ML FLQ ‘formerly’, describes a past event. (The superscripts in the Cantonese renderings are tone markers.)
