A comprehensive digitalisation must take place, which can be supported by machine learning (ML) and especially computer vision (CV), thus considerably accelerating the construction processes. One way to restore the quality of construction plans is presented in the paper "Improving 2D Construction Plans with Cycle-consistent Generative Adversarial Networks (CycleGAN)" by Firdes Celik, Benedikt Faltin and Prof. Markus König.
