This paper presents a new method for building detection and reconstruction from aerial images. In our approach, we extract useful building location information from the generated disparity map to segment the interested objects and consequently reduce unnecessary line segments extracted in the low level feature extraction step. Hypothesis selection is carried out by using an undirected graph, in which close cycles represent complete rooftops hypotheses. We test the proposed method with the synthetic images generated from Avenches dataset of Ascona aerial images. The experiment result shows that the extracted 3D line segments of the reconstructed buildings have an average error of 1.69m and our method can be efficiently used for the task of building detection and reconstruction from aerial images.

This paper presents an algorithm for building detection from aerial image using segment measure function and line relation. In the detection algorithm proposed, edge detection, linear approximation and line linking are used and then line measure function is applied to each line segment in order to improve the accuracy of linear approximation. Parallelisms, orthogonalities are applied to the extracted liner segments to extract building. The algorithm was applied to aerial image and the buildings were accurately detected.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 항공 영상으로부터 영상에 포함된 건물의 3차원 복원을 위해 건물 형태에 대한 모델을 생성하고 건물 모델을 구성하는 선소를 찾아 건물을 복원하는 알고리듬에 대해 다루고 있다. 건물을 검출하기 위해 일반적으로 필요한 에지 검출, 에지의 직선화, 선소의 연결 등의 복잡한 과정을 거치지 않고 복원하는 건물을 몇 개의 파라미터값으로 표현하고 건물 모델을 이용하여 원영상에서 건물의 선소들을 직접 검출하는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 선소 검출시 건물을 구성하는 각각의 선소에 대해 선소 측정 함수를 동시에 적용하여 독립적인 선소 검출 방법보다 건물 검출의 정확도를 높였다. 제안한 알고리듬을 스테레오 항공 영상에 적용한 결과, 건물의 정확한 검출 및 복원 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper presents numerical and experimental investigations on damage detection of mono-coupled multistory buildings using natural frequency as only diagnostic parameter. Frequency equation of a mono-coupled multistory building is first derived using the transfer matrix method. Closed-form sensitivity equation is established to relate the relative change in the stiffness of each story to the relative changes in the natural frequencies of the building. Damage detection is then performed using the sensitivity equation with its special features and minimizing the norm of an objective function with an inequality constraint. Numerical and experimental investigations are finally conducted on a mono-coupled 3-story building model as an application of the proposed algorithm, in which the influence of modeling error on the degree of accuracy of damage detection is discussed. A mono-coupled 10-story building is further used to examine the capability of the proposed algorithm against measurement noise and incomplete measured natural frequencies. The results obtained demonstrate that changes in story stiffness can be satisfactorily detected, located, and quantified if all sensitive natural frequencies to damaged stories are available. The proposed damage detection algorithm is not sensitive to measurement noise and modeling error.

To increase building change recognition accuracy, we present a deep learning-based building change detection using remote sensing images. In the proposed approach, by merging pixel-level and object-level information of multitemporal remote sensing images, we create the difference image (DI), and the frequency-domain significance technique is used to generate the DI saliency map. The fuzzy C-means clustering technique pre-classifies the coarse change detection map by defining the DI saliency map threshold. We then extract the neighborhood features of the unchanged pixels and the changed (buildings) from pixel-level and object-level feature images, which are then used as valid deep neural network (DNN) training samples. The trained DNNs are then utilized to identify changes in DI. The suggested strategy was evaluated and compared to current detection methods using two datasets. The results suggest that our proposed technique can detect more building change information and improve change detection accuracy.

This paper proposed a practical method for building detection and extraction using airborne laser scanning data. The proposed method consists mainly of two processes: low and high level processes. The major distinction from the previous approaches is that we introduce a concept of pseudogrid (or binning) into raw laser scanning data to avoid the loss of information and accuracy due to interpolation as well as to define the adjacency of neighboring laser point data and to speed up the processing time. The approach begins with pseudo-grid generation, noise removal, segmentation, grouping for building detection, linearization and simplification of building boundary , and building extraction in 3D vector format. To achieve the efficient processing, each step changes the domain of input data such as point and pseudo-grid accordingly. The experimental results shows that the proposed method is promising.

The global pandemic, coronavirus disease caused by Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has led to the implementation of wastewater surveillance as a means to monitor the spread of SARS-CoV-2 prevalence in the community. The challenging aspect of establishing wastewater surveillance requires a well-equipped laboratory for wastewater sample analysis. According to previous studies, RT-PCR-based molecular tests are the most widely used and popular detection method worldwide. However, this approach for the detection or quantification of SARS-CoV-2 from wastewater demands a specialized laboratory, skilled personnel, expensive instruments, and a workflow that typically takes 6 to 8 hours to provide results for a few samples. Rapid and reliable alternative detection methods are needed to enable less-well-qualified practitioners to set up and provide sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 within wastewater at regional laboratories. In some cases, the structural and molecular characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 are unknown, and various strategies for the correct diagnosis of COVID-19 have been proposed by research laboratories. The ongoing research and development of alternative and rapid technologies, namely RT-LAMP, ELISA, Biosensors, and GeneXpert, offer a wide range of potential options not only for SARS-CoV-2 detection but also for other viruses. This study aims to discuss the effective regional rapid detection and quantification methods in community wastewater.

건물탐지 기반의 건물 변화 모니터링은 발사예정인 차세대 중형위성 1, 2호와 같은 고해상도 다시기 광학 위성영상을 이용한 인공 구조물 모니터링 측면에서 가장 중요한 분야 중 하나이다. 하지만 지표면에 위치하는 건물들의 형태와 크기는 다양하며, 이들 주변에 존재하는 그림자 또는 나무 등에 의해 정확한 건물탐지에 어려움이 따른다. 또한, 영상 촬영 당시의 플랫폼의 방위각(Azimuth angle)과 고도각(Elevation angle)에 따라 생기는 기복 변위로 인해 건물 변화탐지 수행 시 다수의 변화 오탐지가 발생하게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 건물 변화탐지 결과 향상을 위해 다시기 영상 취득 당시의 태양의 방위각과 그에 따른 그림자의 주방향(Main direction)을 이용한 객체기반 건물탐지를 수행하였으며, 이후 플랫폼의 방위각과 고도각을 이용한 건물 변화탐지를 수행하였다. 고해상도 영상에 객체 분할 기법을 적용한 후, Shadow intensity를 통해 그림자 객체만을 분류하였으며, 건물 후보군 탐지를 위해 각 객체의 Rectangular fit, GLCM(Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix) homogeneity 그리고 면적(Area)과 같은 특징(Feature) 정보들을 이용하였다. 그 후, 건물 후보군으로 탐지된 객체들의 중심과 태양의 방위각에 따른 건물 그림자 사이의 방향과 거리를 이용하여 최종 건물을 탐지하였다. 각 영상에서 탐지된 건물 객체 간 변화탐지를 위해 객체들 간의 단순 중첩, 플랫폼의 고도각에 따른 객체의 크기 비교, 그리고 플랫폼의 방위각에 따른 객체 간의 방향 비교 총 3가지의 방법을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서는 주거 밀집 지역을 연구지역으로 선정하였으며, KOMPSAT-3와 무인항공기(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV)의 이종 센서에서 취득된 고해상도 영상을 이용하여 실험 데이터를 생성하였다. 실험 결과, 특징 정보를 이용해 탐지한 건물탐지 결과의 F1-score는 KOMPSAT-3 영상과 무인항공기 영상에서 각각 0.488 그리고 0.696인 반면, 그림자를 고려한 건물탐지 결과의 F1-score는 0.876 그리고 0.867로 그림자를 고려한 건물탐지 기법의 정확도가 더 높은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 그림자를 이용한 건물탐지 결과를 바탕으로 제안한 3가지의 건물 변화탐지 제안기법 중 플랫폼의 방위각에 따른 객체 간의 방향을 고려한 방법의 F1-score가 0.891로 가장 높은 정확도를 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The smart sensor technology has opened new horizons for assessing and monitoring structural health of civil infrastructure. Smart sensor's unique features such as onboard computation, wireless communication, and cost effectiveness can enable a dense network of sensors that is essential for accurate assessment of structural health in large-scale civil structures. While most research efforts to date have been focused on realizing wireless smart sensor networks (WSSN) on bridge structures, relatively less attention is paid to applying this technology to buildings. This paper presents a decentralized damage detection using the WSSN for building structures. An existing flexibility-based damage detection method is extended to be used in the decentralized computing environment offered by the WSSN and implemented on MEMSIC's Imote2 smart sensor platform. Numerical simulation and laboratory experiment are conducted to validate the WSSN for decentralized damage detection of building structures.

Damage location and extent of structure could be detected by the inverse analysis on dynamic response properties such as frequencies and mode shapes. In practice the measured difference of natural frequencies represent the stiffness change reliably, however the measured mode shape is insensitive for stiffness change, but provides spatial information of damage. The damage detection index on shear building structures is formulated in this study. The damage detection index could be estimated from mode shape and srory stiffness of undamaged structure and frequency difference between undamaged and damaged structure. For the verification of the observed damage detection method, the numerical analysis of Matlab and MIDAS and shacking table test were performed. In results, the damage index of damaged story was estimated so higher than undamaged stories that indicates the damaged story apparently.
