Description

The goal is to write a critical comparison of several methods for automated generation of floor plans. Description of the methods can be found in the listing below. It is necessary to implement all the methods in a unified environment. Each method is focused on different scenarios, each one uses other assumptions and constraints. The student should investigate the computational efficiency, quality of results annd suitability for various types houses (residential, administrative, public ... )

Task

There are several methods to be compared:

• Computer Generated Residential Building Layouts
• A Constrained Growth Method for Procedural Floor Plan Generation
• Procedural House Generation: A method for dynamically generating floor plans
• Procedural Generation of Building Blueprints for Real-Time Applications
• Automatic Real-time Generation of Floor Plans Based on Squarified Treemaps Algorithm

Requirements

The students should be interested in the following topics: computer graphics, optimization methods, graph theory, comutational geoometry, procedural modeling.

Environment

There is a C# framework for procedural modeling developed at our insitute. The result of a praktikum should be a C# plugin for our framework. It provides a number of helper libraries (Ogre3D, CGAL, QuickGraph ... ), a nice docking GUI and great support by the creators.
