Title Large-Scale Multi-Unit Floor Plan Dataset for Architectural Plan Analysis and Recognition
Authors Pablo Pizarro, Nancy Hitschfeld, Iván Sipirán
Publication date December 2023
Abstract Among automatic floor plan analysis, data-driven methods
have
become increasingly popular in recent years because of their superior
accuracy and generalizability compared to traditional approaches while
processing rasterized floor plans. However, the scarcity of public raster
datasets with various styles and sufficient quantity hinders the development
of new models, as current ones only contain a single apartment or house,
limiting the analysis of large-scale plans usually designed in architectural
and structural offices. In order to address that issue, this paper presents
a multi-unit floor plan dataset comprising 954 high-resolution images of
residential buildings with annotated walls and slabs as polygons, enabling
large-scale plan analysis. Additionally, this study implements an automatic
wall vectorization method that uses a learning discriminative-based semantic
segmentation U-Net model to retrieve wall objects, followed by a
deep-learning model that predicts the segmented primitives, providing a
baseline for future comparison of automatic wall segmentation
results.
