In this paper we introduce an approach for automatic recognition and reconstruction of building facade structure from oblique aerial images. Contrast to street-view image oblique aerial image has larger field of view but lower resolution, weaker texture and more noise. To overcome these shortcomings, our approach firstly analyses the horizontal distribution density to extract individual facade ...

Extraction and analysis of building façades are key processes in the three-dimensional (3D) building reconstruction and realistic geometrical modeling of the urban environment, which includes many applications, such as smart city management, autonomous navigation through the urban environment, fly-through rendering, 3D street view, virtual tourism, urban mission planning, etc. This paper propos...

The mathematic models for thermal, and PV solar power inserted in the ESP-r, which is the integrating building energy and environment simulation tool, were verified with the measured da ta. Using the verified model, the energy performance of an office building, equipped toward the south with conventional absorptive single facade or unventilated double PV facade or outward ventilated double PV f...

Many recent studies in the field of kinetic façade developed grid-based modular forms through primary movements which are restricted simple shapes. However, learning from biological analogies reveals that plants and trees provide adjustable daylighting strategies by means multilayered curvature morphological changes. This research builds on a relevant literature study, observation, biomimicry a...

In the last years more and more applications make use of 3d building models. Automatic reconstruction is essential for the acquisition and updating of the huge amount of data. For many applications it is useful to be able to transform the object representation automatically in order to generalize the geometry. For this task a structurally rich description of the object is needed. We presented a...

This document is intended to give an overview of the project ’Advanced Facade Rendering’. The Project’s aim was to improve the generation of facades and their geometry and subdivisions based on simple facade pictures. These subdivisions are set automatically by using some sophisticated image-based algorithms or manually by the user. This way it is possible to create astonishing results of a fac...

The aim is a cleaning robot which automatically cleans the outside of windows on a facade with vertical jambs and horizontal bars. The facade has to possess certain constructive properties. This "interface" enables the cleaning robot which is detachable from the building and portable to operate on any respectively designed facade on several buildings. A special cleaning-head keeps the water use...
