AUTOMATED PARAMETRIZATION OF FLOOR-PLAN SKETCHES FOR MULTI-OBJECTIVE BUILDING OPTIMIZATION TASKS

Abstract:

A method and system provide the ability to parametrize a sketch. A sketch is acquired and includes raster lines that define a raster image based floor-plan sketch. Vectorized geometry is generated from the sketch dynamically in real time based on raster lines. A parametric model that is optimizable is generated from the vectorized geometry. The parametric model is generated dynamically in real time, and the raster lines are represented in the parametric model as three-dimensional walls. The parametric model is displayed and edited. Upon editing a parameter of a three-dimensional wall, other parameters in the parametric model are autonomously updated.
