Deep learning surrogate models for spatial and visual connectivity
Spatial and visual connectivity are important metrics when developing workplace layouts. Calculating those metrics in real time can be difficult, depending on the size of the floor plan being analysed and the resolution of the analyses. This article investigates the possibility of considerably speeding up the outcomes of such computationally intensive simulations by using machine learning to create models capable of identifying the spatial and visual connectivity potential of a space. To that end, we present the entire process of investigating different machine learning models and a pipeline for training them on such task, from the incorporation of a bespoke spatial and visual connectivity analysis engine through a distributed computation pipeline, to the process of synthesizing training data and evaluating the performance of different neural networks.
