TLDR
In this paper a sketch-based approach is proposed to query the floor plan repository, where the user searches for semantically similar floor plans just by drawing the new plan.Abstract:
Architects’ daily routine means working with drawings. They use either a pen or a computer sketching their ideas or drawing to scale. When beginning a new project they often have to search for similar projects in the past. In this paper a sketch-based approach is proposed to query the floor plan repository. The user searches for semantically similar floor plans just by drawing the new plan. An algorithm extracts the semantic structure sketched by the architect on DFKI’s Touch & Write table and compares the structure of the sketch with the ones from the floor plan repository. The a SCatch system enables the user to easily access knowledge from past projects. While in the current prototype only sketches with a predefined structure are recognized, we will extend the system to work with normal floor plans.read more

Improved Automatic Analysis of Architectural Floor Plans
TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel complete system for automated floor plan analysis that outperforms previous systems and introduces novel preprocessing methods, e.g., the differentiation between thick, medium, and thin lines and the removal of components outside the convex hull of the outer walls.

Statistical segmentation and structural recognition for floor plan interpretation
TL;DR: The proposed approach is able to analyze any type of floor plan regardless of the notation used and could be easily adopted to the recognition and interpretation of any other printed machine-generated structured documents.

Automatic Room Detection and Room Labeling from Architectural Floor Plans
TL;DR: An automatic system for analyzing and labeling architectural floor plans that could clearly outperform other state-of-the-art approaches for room detection and split rooms into several sub-regions if several semantic rooms share the same physical room.

Automatic structural scene digitalization
TL;DR: An automatic system for the analysis and labeling of structural scenes, floor plan drawings in Computer-aided Design (CAD) format that applies a fusion strategy to detect and recognize various components of CAD floor plans, such as walls, doors, windows and other ambiguous assets is presented.

Graph-based retrieval of building information models for supporting the early design stages
TL;DR: A method for indexing spatial configurations along with a sketch-based input method for search strategies that uses so-called semantic fingerprints of buildings and an intuitive novel query method for researching similar reference examples are proposed.

Sketch based interfaces: early processing for sketch understanding
TL;DR: This paper describes an implemented system that combines multiple sources of knowledge to provide robust early processing for freehand sketching, and one of the most basic steps in converting the original digitized pen strokes in a sketch into the intended geometric objects.
