The 3D information in Building Information Modeling (BIM) has received significant interest for smart city applications. Recently, employing Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) BIM data-driven methods Energy Consumption Estimation (BECE) gained momentum because of the enriched geometric and semantic information. However, despite extensive studies on applying IFC data BECE analysis, full potential...

We report a method for automated video indexing and shot characterization that meets the specific requirements of professional post-production and archivist end users. ASAP – Automated Shot Analysis Program – interprets source video material in a manner consistent with industry practice and generates logs and searchable databases of cut location and camera activity. It uses projective transform...

The paper considers the application interface testing technology on the basis of probabilistic networks; it offers the criteria of reliability dependence measure for the different application modules sharing the same functionality; it proposes an expand criterion of the testing completeness by the measure of uncertainty of the modules reliability; it is shown how to use automated mechanism of t...
