Two-Stream Graph Attention Network for Vectorized Roughcast Floorplan Segmentation

Think of messy, hand-drawn floor plans on rough construction drawings. This system is like an AI draftsman that can read those messy sketches, understand what is a wall, a room, a doorway, etc., and then convert them into a clean, structured digital floorplan automatically.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Manual digitization and cleanup of rough architectural floorplan drawings is slow, error-prone, and expensive. This research automates the segmentation and structuring of vectorized roughcast floorplans so walls, rooms, and other components are separated and labeled for downstream CAD/BIM workflows.

Value Drivers

Cost reduction by cutting hours of manual tracing and cleanup of floorplansSpeed: faster turnaround from rough drawings to usable CAD/BIM modelsQuality and consistency of floorplan interpretation versus manual draftingEnabler for large-scale digitization of legacy/rough building plans (portfolio analytics, renovation planning, compliance checks)

Strategic Moat

Domain-specific model architecture (two-stream graph attention over vectorized floorplans) and any curated training dataset of roughcast architectural plans form the core defensibility; performance depends heavily on proprietary labeled floorplan data and integration into CAD/BIM toolchains.

Differentiation Factor

Unlike generic image segmentation, this approach operates on vectorized floorplans and uses a two-stream graph attention network, better matching the underlying geometric and topological structure of architectural drawings and improving segmentation accuracy on noisy, roughcast inputs.
