Towards computer-based perception by modeling visual perception: A probalistic theory

Studies on computer-based perception by vision modelling are described. The visual perception is mathematically modelled where the model receives and interprets visual data from the environment. The perception is defined in probabilistic terms so that it is in the same way quantified. Human visual perception mimicked by means of a computer is an...

Knowledge Model for Cultural Analogy in Design and Design Education

Soft Computing in Construction Information Technology

The last decade, civil engineering has exercised a rapidly growing interest in the application of neurally inspired computing techniques. The motive for this interest was the promises of certain information processing characteristics, which are similar to some extend, to those of human brain. The immediate examples of these include an ability to...

Multi-objective design for space layout topology

Information Ordering for decision support in building design

Architectural pattern generation by discrete wavelet transform and utilisation in structural design

Since computers were introduced in architectural design as a valuable tool, there was a growing need to develop tools that would support the designer from the initial phase of the design till the detailing. In a computer aided architectural design environment it is feasible to stimulate the spatial design ideas and create alternatives in an...
