Beyond Segmentation: Structurally Informed Facade Parsing from Imperfect Images

Globally consistent semantic digital twins require centimeter-accurate and geographically transferable 3D facade segmentation. However, progress in facade parsing is limited by the lack of large-scale, standardized benchmarks for evaluating cross-domain generalization. Existing datasets are geographically narrow, semantically inconsistent, or insufficiently precise. We introduce UnderOneFacade, the largest cross-country and cross-continent 3D facade benchmark to date, comprising centimeter-accurate point clouds with hierarchical, harmonized, and architecturally grounded semantic labels totaling 2.7 billion annotated points. Through a systematic evaluation of representative point-, graph- and transformer-based architectures, we show that current methods struggle to recognize fine-grained architectural elements and degrade significantly across geographic domains, with the best models achieving only up to 33 IoU on the fine-grained LoFG3 benchmark. By combining geometric precision with standardized semantics at unprecedented scale, UnderOneFacade establishes a rigorous benchmark for developing robust and transferable 3D segmentation models. The dataset, evaluation scripts, and pretrained models will be released upon publication.

With the increasing availability of high-resolution remote sensing and aerial imagery, oriented object detection has become a key capability for geographic information updating, maritime surveillance, and disaster response. However, it remains challenging due to cluttered backgrounds, severe scale variation, and large orientation changes. Existing approaches largely improve performance through multi-scale feature fusion with feature pyramid networks or contextual modeling with attention, but they often lack explicit foreground modeling and do not leverage geometric orientation priors, which limits feature discriminability. To overcome these limitations, we propose FGAA-FPN, a Foreground-Guided Angle-Aware Feature Pyramid Network for oriented object detection. FGAA-FPN is built on a hierarchical functional decomposition that accounts for the distinct spatial resolution and semantic abstraction across pyramid levels, thereby strengthening multi-scale representations. Concretely, a Foreground-Guided Feature Modulation module learns foreground saliency under weak supervision to enhance object regions and suppress background interference in low-level features. In parallel, an Angle-Aware Multi-Head Attention module encodes relative orientation relationships to guide global interactions among high-level semantic features. Extensive experiments on DOTA v1.0 and DOTA v1.5 demonstrate that FGAA-FPN achieves state-of-the-art results, reaching 75.5% and 68.3% mAP, respectively.

Building facade defect inspection is fundamental to structural health monitoring and sustainable urban maintenance, yet it remains a formidable challenge due to extreme geometric variability, low contrast against complex backgrounds, and the inherent complexity of composite defects (e.g., cracks co-occurring with spalling). Such characteristics lead to severe pixel imbalance and feature ambiguity, which, coupled with the critical scarcity of high-quality pixel-level annotations, hinder the generalization of existing detection and segmentation models. To address gaps, we propose FacadeFixer, a unified multi-agent framework that treats defect perception as a collaborative reasoning task rather than isolated recognition. Specifically,FacadeFixer orchestrates specialized agents for detection and segmentation to handle multi-type defect interference, working in tandem with a generative agent to enable semantic recomposition. This process decouples intricate defects from noisy backgrounds and realistically synthesizes them onto diverse clean textures, generating high-fidelity augmented data with precise expert-level masks. To support this, we introduce a comprehensive multi-task dataset covering six primary facade categories with pixel-level annotations. Extensive experiments demonstrate that FacadeFixer significantly outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) baselines. Specifically, it excels in capturing pixel-level structural anomalies and highlights generative synthesis as a robust solution to data scarcity in infrastructure inspection. Our code and dataset will be made publicly available.
