After natural disasters, accurate evaluations of damage to housing are important for insurance claims response and planning of resources. In this work, we introduce a novel multimodal retrieval-augmented generation (MM-RAG) framework. On…
Buddha statues are a part of human culture, especially of the Asia area, and they have been alongside human civilisation for more than 2,000 years. As history goes by, due to wars, natural disasters, and other reasons, the records that show…
Accurate information on the number of building floors, or above-ground storeys, is essential for household estimation, utility provision, risk assessment, evacuation planning, and energy modeling. Yet large-scale floor-count data are rarely…
We present a hybrid multi-phase page matching algorithm for automated comparison of Japanese building permit document sets. Building permit review in Japan requires cross-referencing large PDF document sets across revision cycles, a process…
In this work we study an application of machine learning to the construction industry and we use classical and modern machine learning methods to categorize images of building designs into three classes: Apartment building, Industrial…
A computationally method on damage detection problems in structures was conducted using neural networks. The problem that is considered in this works consists of estimating the existence, location and extent of stiffness reduction in…
Cyber-physical systems, like Smart Buildings and power plants, have to meet high standards, both in terms of reliability and availability. Such metrics are typically evaluated using Fault trees (FTs) and do not consider maintenance…
This paper presents a novel deep learning architecture to classify structured objects in datasets with a large number of visually similar categories. We model sequences of images as linear-chain CRFs, and jointly learn the parameters from…
Building-level occupancy after disasters is vital for triage, inspections, utility re-energization, and equitable resource allocation. Overhead imagery provides rapid coverage but often misses facade and access cues that determine…
Recently, there has been significant interest in various supervised machine learning techniques that can help reduce the time and effort consumed by manual interpretation workflows. However, most successful supervised machine learning…
When data on building features is unavailable, the task of determining how to improve that building in terms of carbon emissions becomes infeasible. We show that from only a set of images, a Large Language Model with appropriate prompt…
Understanding the fundamental characteristics that shape the inherent flood risk disposition of urban areas is critical for integrated urban design strategies for flood risk reduction. Flood risk disposition specifies an inherent and…
We present a procedure for assessing the urban exposure and seismic vulnerability that integrates LiDAR data with aerial and satellite images. It comprises three phases: first, we segment the satellite image to divide the study area into…
This paper showcases the use of a reinforcement learning-based Neural Architecture Search (NAS) agent to design a small neural network to perform active fire detection on multispectral satellite imagery. Specifically, we aim to design a…
While federated learning protects data privacy, it also makes the model update process vulnerable to long-term stealthy perturbations. Existing studies on backdoor attacks in federated learning mainly focus on trigger design or poisoning…
The task of identifying and segmenting buildings within remote sensing imagery has perennially stood at the forefront of scholarly investigations. This manuscript accentuates the potency of harnessing diversified datasets in tandem with…
Post-disaster inspections are critical to emergency management after earthquakes. The availability of data on the condition of civil infrastructure immediately after an earthquake is of great importance for emergency management.…
Registration of heritage values in buildings is important to safeguard heritage values that can be lost in renovation and energy efficiency projects. However, registering heritage values is a cumbersome process. Novel artificial…
We investigate the scalable image classification problem with a large number of categories. Hierarchical visual data structures are helpful for improving the efficiency and performance of large-scale multi-class classification. We propose a…
Current robot platforms are being employed to collaborate with humans in a wide range of domestic and industrial tasks. These environments require autonomous systems that are able to classify and communicate anomalous situations such as…
