In this paper we address the problem of removing unwanted image content in a single orthographic façade image. We exploit the regular structure present in building façades and introduce a diffusion process that is guided by the symmetry prevalent in the image. It removes larger unwanted image objects such as traffic lights, street signs, or cables as well as smaller noise, such as reflections i...

The use of daylight in educational settings has a significant impact on the well-being, attention, and academic achievement students. However, providing adequate daylighting without glare can be difficult, especially deep-plan layout classrooms, because is not constant its strength varies with distance from façade, necessitating additional solutions frequently. In this study, tubular guidance s...

Bedn under responsibility of Abstract This article presents an innovative façade system designed to increase the thermal comfort inside an office room and to enhance the cooling capacity of the suspended cooling ceiling. A series of measurements is conducted in an existing office building with...

In recent years, the demand for highly detailed building models has clearly risen. Most of the details, which characterize a building, come from its façade. It is obvious that such façade detail is ideally acquired from ground-based sensors. For any street-level data acquisition system, a common problem arises: that of occlusions and hence incomplete data. In the past we have shown how multiima...

Working on building façade is dangerous. Many accidents have occurred, and many workers have lost their lives. We have researched to apply robot systems to prevent these accidents. In this paper, we purposed an algorithm for sensor system of a gondola-typed building façade maintenance robot. The robot system moves on the building façade autonomously, or by remote control. Therefore, window area...
