Abstract

Computer Vision (CV), subfield of artificial intelligence (AI), enables computers to process visual data and recognize objects. CV is widely used in, automotive, food industry and diseases diagnosis. AI achieves this by algorithms. One of the important algorithms based on object detection is YOLO (You Only Look Once), provides more accurate results with high processing speed. The aim of this study is to perform an object detection-based CV project, to determine the structures in given video belong to one of the architectural styles: Gothic, Baroque, Palladian, or Art Nouveau. The study consists of data set creation, data labeling, model creation and model training. Roboflow was used as the data labeling platform and YOLOv8 was used for model building and training phases. At the end of the process, the fact that the model predicts architectural styles with high accuracy in a short time revealed that the model is a successful real-time object detection algorithm, and it was emphasized that CV can be used in the field of architecture and can contribute to other fields related to architecture.

Computer Vision Metodlarıyla Çeşitli Mimari Üslupların Tahmin Edilmesi

Abstract

Yapay zeka (AI) alanının alt dalı olan Computer Vision (bilgisayar görüşü, CV), bilgisayarların görsel verileri işleyerek nesneleri tanıyabilmesine olanak sağlar. CV, otomotiv, gıda endüstrisi, hastalıkların teşhisi gibi alanlarda yaygın kullanılmaktadır. AI bunu yaparken, algoritmaları kullanmaktadır. Nesne algılamaya dayalı algoritmaların en önemlilerinden biri yüksek veri işleme hızıyla daha net sonuçlar veren YOLO (You Only Look Once) dur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, temel alınan videodaki öne çıkan yapıların gotik, barok, palladyen, art nouveau mimari üsluplarından hangisine ait olduğunu belirlemeye yönelik nesne algılama tabanlı CV projesi gerçekleştirmektir. Çalışma veri seti oluşturma, veri etiketleme, model oluşturma ve modelin eğitimi aşamalarından oluşmaktadır. Veri etiketleme platformu olarak Roboflow, model oluşturma ve eğitim aşamaları için YOLOv8 kullanılmıştır. Süreç sonunda modelin mimari üslupları yüksek doğruluk payı ile kısa zamanda tahmin etmesi modelin başarılı gerçek zamanlı bir nesne algılama algoritması olduğunu ortaya koymuş, CV’ın mimarlık alanında da kullanılabileceği ve mimarlık ile ilgili diğer alanlara da katkı sunabileceği vurgulanmıştır.
