The Direction-Aware, Learnable, Additive Kernels and the Adversarial Network for Deep Floor Plan Recognition

This paper presents a new approach for the recognition of elements in floor plan layouts. Besides of elements with common shapes, we aim to recognize elements with irregular shapes such as circular rooms and inclined walls. Furthermore, the reduction of noise in the semantic segmentation of the floor plan is on demand. To this end, we propose direction-aware, learnable, additive kernels in the application of both the context module and common convolutional blocks. We apply them for high performance of elements with both common and irregular shapes. Besides, an adversarial network with two discriminators is proposed to further improve the accuracy of the elements and to reduce the noise of the semantic segmentation. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed network over the state-of-the-art methods.
