A comparative study of point clouds semantic segmentation using three different neural networks on the railway station dataset

Point cloud data have rich semantic representations and can benefit various applications towards a digital twin. However, they are unordered and anisotropically distributed, thus being unsuitable for a typical Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to handle. With the advance of deep learning, several neural networks claim to have solved the...

The sensitive river scape, the sinuous territory: Transforming Dajia River Basin as a Water-Sensitive Landscape Infrastructure

This project explores the landscape potential of Taiwanese river valley in terms of integrating water and river management with urbanism within the context of a dense environment diversity as well as a highly sensitive and dynamic landscape. Taking one of the most illustrative river basin, Dajia River, the steepest river with the most water...

Green for grey: Green Infrastructure Design in Toronto Which Meet The Needs of Active Aging

This project explores the way of developing a better green infrastructure for Toronto to meet the needs of active aging. Regarding the senior population as umbrella species, the green infrastructure is thus defined as a green matrix consists of path, edge and corridor. Each component is designed according to its design principles made by author...

Foresea: An installation about sea level rise at Oerol 2016

Foresea is the result of course 'AR0148 - landscape architecture ON site' 2016, initiated by the section Landscape Architecture at the faculty of Architecture. Central aim of this course is to express the given site in a project at the interface between landscape architecture and landscape art, which will be performed during the Oerol festival...

Remixed Use: Advancing urban regeneration of the resettled tenements by promoting evolved planning system and urban form in Taipei

This project tries to redefine urban vitality in Taipei by finding out the physical indicators which compose the urban form and revising existing planning system to stimulate integrated urban regeneration. The most vulnerable communities resettled tenements are chosen as the research focus. The suggestions in this project improve current Taipei...

Edge-aware simplification of roof and facade point clouds into a uniformly dense point cloud

Point clouds can be obtained by airborne or terrestrial Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) scanning or directly from street-view panoramic imagery. Point clouds obtained from airborne scanners cover most roof information but lack facade information. Similar but orthogonal to airborne scanning, street-view point clouds cover well of the facade...

Legacy creation strategy in Olympic cities: The path towards sustainable development?

Mega-event strategies and their impact on the development of host cities have drawn increasing interest as they have become part of wider city development strategies. However, many city leaders are challenged by a gigantic and complex task after the events: how to deal with the post-use of large event venues and facilities? How to use the events...

Shanghai's Huangpu Riverbank Redevelopment Beyond World Expo 2010

Event-led regeneration has become part of a deliberate urban policy strategy to position the host cities on the world agenda. Mega events such as the world expo need different facilities and services for an efficient operation of the expo during those three or six months. Most cities stressed exploring city marketing and reimaging effect of...

Geofort: The realisation of a Marauders map at the Geofort GeoExperience

This Geomatics project was carried out in commission of the Municipality of Rotterdam, Geofort Herwijnen and Facility Management of TU Delft. The research project and this report deliver important fundamental information for scientific/academic paper on Wifi tracking.

South Chicago Lakeside Health City Medical Library

My graduation project is a medical library in South Chicago lakeside. The main problem in South Chicago is: After the close of US Steel in 1992, South Chicago lost its economical anchor and declined, which needs some new external strength help the district to form its new brand. We propose a “Health City” as the new development for South Chicago...

Flux waterscapes: The transformation of south Bratislava as part of waterscape of Danube

My research design starts from relationship between water landscape and human livability. By doing analysis of Bratislava, I found that the city is facing the serious flood problem, especially the biggest residential area on the right bank of Bratislava. Besides this, the right bank city is a post-socialist city with low quality of living...

Merwehaven New Ferry Station

The Hyperbody graduation studio is set to be an endeavor to integrate research with the final design product. The “computational” nature of the whole process serves as both an opportunity and challenge to develop a design methodology out of analyzing the complexity of current social and climatic context and using these presets as “intrigues” to...

Twin City Region - Up with a colorful corridor

Direct gradient projection method with transformation of variables technique for structural topology optimization

This paper proposes an efficient and reliable topology optimization method that can obtain a black and white solution with a low objective function value within a few tens of iterations. First of all, a transformation of variables technique is adopted to eliminate the constraints on the design variables. After that, the optimization problem is...
