Abstract Digital architecture, as a proceeding architectural style, has caused fundamental evolutions in architectural design and building appearance via applying complex geometries and topologies. Computers and digital tools have truly altered the design process and architectural conception facilitating production of new eye catching forms. Avant-garde architectural forms have emerged from the...

Abstract The selection of an analogical source is a critical step in the design-by-analogy process. Previous researchers have explored reasons and preferences individual designers or design teams selecting sources. Non-designers, who instead more knowledge other fields, may offer new possibilities for retrieving novel This study focuses on differences sources between collaborative composed nond...

In this paper, we use multiwavelet transforms to perform texture classification on twelve Brodatz textures. To increase the correct classification rate, feature selection is considered. Here we use the coevolutionary algorithm rather than the genetic algorithm (GA) which is widely used in many researches to accomplish the training phase of feature selection. In the classification phase, the mea...

A method of rotation invariant texture classification based on spatial frequency model is developed. Features are derived from the multichannel Gabor filtering method. The classification performance is first tested on a set 1440 samples of 15 Brodatz textures rotated in 12 directions (0 to 165 in steps of 15 degrees). For the 13-class problem reported in [13] we got better classification with o...

An efficient texture representation for unsupervised segmentation is addressed based on the concept of Wold decomposition. Textures are described by the wavelet tuned to various scales and rotations to describe its deterministic component, and by the autogressive model to describe its indeterministic component. The wavelet features and the AR parameters capturing the perceptual properties, "per...

The need to design and develop artificial intelligence (AI) in a sustainable manner has motivated researchers, institutions, organizations formulate suggestions for AI ethics. Although these cover various topics address diverse audiences, they share the presupposition that ethics provides generalizable basis designers is applicable their work. We propose one of reasons influence current ethical...

As new products and systems grow in complexity and embed new technologies, designers face new challenges for adequately pursuing their prototyping activities. Tangible User Interface toolkits provide an easier development environment for rapidly exploring and prototyping functional physical interactive devices. Such toolkits range from friendly toy-like building blocks to advanced wireless micr...
