Raster Image-Based House-Type Recognition and Three-Dimensional Reconstruction Technology by Jianbo Chang, Yunlei Lv, Jian Wang, Hao Pang, Yaqiu Liu

“…To improve wall localization accuracy, we introduce CPN-Floor, a method that achieves precise key point detection of house plan primitives. By generating and filtering candidate primitives through axial alignment rules and geometric constraints, followed by post-processing to refine the positions of walls, doors, and windows, our approach achieves over 87% precision and 88% recall, with positional errors within 1% of the floor plan’s dimensions. …”
