Aided Greenway Design Approach Based on Internet Big Data and AIGC Fine-Tuning Model by Yifan WU, Lu MENG, Liang LI

“…The framework can be divided into four major processes: Network big data collection, intelligent evaluation of network big data, AIGC image fine-tuning model construction, and AI-aided design generation. 1) Network big data collection: Obtain datasets related to the required landscape architecture segmentation scenarios through online social platforms for evaluation and fine-tuning model training. 2) Intelligent evaluation of network big data: Analyze and categorize image data, and filter out the scenario images with excellent user evaluation based on text sentiment evaluation and subsidiary information analysis. 3) AIGC image fine-tuning model construction: Utilize the high-quality image dataset obtained in the previous stage to conduct fine-tuning model training based on a mature pre-trained general model, and inject relevant knowledge and experience from the sub-scenarios of landscape architecture in a cost-effective manner, thereby enhancing the model’s generative capabilities. 4) AI-aided design generation: Employ the fine-tuning model obtained through training to assist in generating scenario images according to the needs of design practice, and based on the intensity of control over the generated content, divide the aided scenario generation into “weakly controlled” and “strongly controlled” aided design scenarios. …”
