Abstract The growing demand for energy-efficient solutions has led to increased interest in analyzing building facades, as buildings contribute significantly to energy consumption in urban environments. However, conventional image segmentation methods often struggle to capture fine details such as edges and contours, limiting their effectiveness in identifying areas prone to energy loss. To address this challenge, we propose a novel segmentation methodology that combines object-wise processing with a two-stage deep learning model, Cascade U-Net. Object-wise processing isolates components of the facade, such as walls and windows, for independent analysis, while Cascade U-Net incorporates contour information to… More >
