Application: Building information model (BIM) element extraction from floor plan drawings using machine learning (Patent ID: US20230409771A1)

Autodesk Inc. has developed a method and system for extracting building information model (BIM) elements for floor plan drawings. The process involves determining a design drawing area, extracting elements, obtaining a synthetic floor plan design drawing dataset with known synthetic symbol labels and locations, detecting symbols represented by the extracted elements, fetching BIM elements based on the symbols, and placing them in the floor plan drawing. The method includes steps such as obtaining image files, removing background elements, segmenting the image, grouping elements, and training machine learning models for symbol orientation classification.

The system comprises a computer with a memory and processor executing a set of instructions to perform operations like obtaining the design drawing area, extracting elements, obtaining a synthetic floor plan design drawing dataset, detecting symbols, fetching BIM elements, and placing them in the floor plan drawing. Additional features of the system include steps for removing background elements, segmenting the image, grouping elements, training machine learning models, and updating the models based on user feedback. This innovative method and system streamline the process of extracting BIM elements from floor plan drawings, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in architectural design workflows.
