The development of tools for the generation of 3D city models started almost two decades
ago. From the beginning, fully automatic reconstruction systems were envisioned to fulfil the …

Accurate assessment of progress allows managers to make adjustments to minimise costs
when deviations from the schedule occur. Current practices of predicting the performance of …

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of urban reconstruction. While there exists a
considerable body of literature, this topic is still under active research. The work reviewed in …

This paper describes algorithms to automatically derive 3D models of high visual quality
from single facade images of arbitrary resolutions. We combine the procedural modeling …

Oblique photogrammetry with multiple cameras onboard unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
has been widely applied in the construction of photorealistic three-dimensional (3-D) urban …

Urban building energy and daylight modeling are bottom-up, physics-based approaches to
simulate the thermal and daylight performance of neighborhoods and cities. The field has …

We address shape grammar parsing for facade segmentation using Reinforcement Learning
(RL). Shape parsing entails simultaneously optimizing the geometry and the topology (eg …

On-site construction inspection for progress monitoring is important because accurate and
timely assessment of progress allows managers to make adjustments to minimize time and …

We present a passive computer vision method that exploits existing mapping and navigation
databases in order to automatically create 3D building models. Our method defines a …

Currently, wall mortar spraying relies on manual labour, which leads to high labour costs
and low construction efficiency. In view of this, an intelligent spraying robot for building walls …
