This is a project to explore how to generate 2D floor plan using different methods.
Archi-GAN
The 1st method I tried is called Archi-GAN, an method posted in 2019.
Dataset
TELL2DESIGN–This is from a research <Tell2Design: A Dataset for Language-Guided Floor Plan Generation> in 2023.
Process
Load Data –> Resize & Pre-process –> Split to train & test sets –> Train Model (/w 200 epoches & 500 epoches) –> Predict
Test Record
With 200 epoches, it cost 250 minutes. With 500 epoches, it cost 700 minutes. (Maybe I need a faster computer)
Generated Floor Plan
As shown in the outputs, the results are really poor :( I’ll try some other methods later.
A Big Step Forward! ;)
GAT-NET
I tried the project codes of GAT-NET, and successfully generated floorplan.
Architecture
It looks a little bit complicated. But the idea is very clear. Firstly, the centroids are estimated and then the boundaries of the spaces are generated.
Test Case
This is the original layout.
Here is the boundary.
Here is the centroids which are generated by CNN. I will find out how does this part work:)
Done! The generated floorplan is shown. It looks not bad, at least reasonable from my perspective of view.
Lots of question marks are in my mind. But, it is a good start!
