Image indexing vocabulary in architecture
Taxonomic hierarchy and categorisation
Résumé
Architectural design is a domain where the use of pictures (drawing,
photography,...) is essential, because the information transmitted by photographic
images are often more easily to understand than the one transmitted by texts. This
paper presents a common vocabulary and its structure relations used for
professional people belonging to the wood construction domain researching
information for their project through images. The images allow us to transmit
necessary and lacked information, to the designer, by illustrating " reference objects
" in their absence. To help the designer, we propose an image database illustrating
existing architectural constructions. The problem we are faced with is the filing and
the classification of those images from a semantic point of view. This classification
cannot be done without identifying the information transmitted by images and their
transcription in a structured vocabulary. The structured vocabulary includes the
name of the illustrated architectural objects to facilitate access to the information
during research. The question is " how to describe at the same time visual and
recognisable architectural elements in words?".
