In this paper we propose an approach for building façade interpretation ranging from uncalibrated images of an image sequence to the extraction of objects such as windows. The approach comprises several novel features, such as determination of the façade planes by robust least squares matching, learning of implicit shape models for objects, particularly windows, and a determination of the latte...

Green façades in the urban environment represent points of biodiversity value, contributing to species conservation, acting as wildlife corridors connecting elements, and also aiming at sustainability, when materials structure are thoughtfully chosen. Ivies (Hedera spp.) perennial climbing evergreen plants that easy cultivate demand little input, their use vertical green systems is much appreci...

By means of airborne multiple camera imaging system, we can acquire vertical and oblique aerial images (VAI and OAI) at the same time. In addition to the reduction of data cost, the OAI can also strengthen the imaging geometry during aerial triangulation and be applied on automatic façade texture mapping. With the development of image matching technique, instead of airborne laser scanning (ALS)...

The generation of photo-realistic city model is an important task for many geospatial applications, such as 3D GIS, urban planning, virtual city tourism, car navigation, real estate, etc. The purpose of this research is to automatically generate façade texture from aerial oblique imagery. The developed algorithm can be applied to any oblique imagery taken from the air, such as UAV, airplane, or...

In this research, an analytical method for quantification of the thermal energy performance improvement for a building integrated photovoltaic double-skin façade has provided. The system has been suggested as a retrofit measure for an existing building in Tehran. The effect of thermal performance has been analyzed through computer-assisted developed code using engineering equation solver softwa...

Buildings are large consumers of energy. In the United States of America; they constitute over 33% of the total annual energy consumption, produce 35% of the total carbon dioxide emissions and attribute 40% of landfill wastes. The building industry is also a large consumer of non-renewable materials and this trend has escalated dramatically over the past century. It is essential that we find wa...

This study analyzes the growing trend of urban green infrastructures, particularly façade systems, in terms their infrastructural relationships between nature and culture potential to act as bioclimatic layers mediating needs flora, fauna human habitation. An interdisciplinary approach is taken by combining perspectives social engineering sciences discuss contribution systems for more-than-huma...

Abstract. Point clouds are widely regarded as one of the best dataset types for urban mapping purposes. Hence, point cloud datasets commonly investigated benchmark various interpretation methods. Yet, few researchers have addressed use benchmarks façade segmentation. Robust segmentation is becoming a key factor in applications ranging from simulating autonomous driving functions to preserving c...

The use of 3D city models has been introduced into a variety of fields from urban planning to disaster management. These models are no longer regarded as ‘simple’ visual representations of the real world; they act as an information space and as semantic models for urban environments as they represent much more than the visual appearance of the real world. For users of these ‘rich’ models the Le...
