Title: Parcelling Survey
Post by: blewert on August 14, 2017, 06:28:05 PM
Hey guys. I have just finished writing up most of my project, as part of my research. My research is focused around procedurally generating suburban/urban layouts, such as villages, towns and cities. These are complete with roads, land plots and buildings. If this confuses you, what I mean by this is that I've wrote an algorithm which makes random cities and towns, with roads and buildings.

Here is a video of it in action. Some images are seen at the bottom of this post.

A crucial part of this system is the generation of land plots to put buildings in. To do this, I created an algorithm which automatically finds plots of land for a road network, which buildings can be easily placed within. This algorithm takes inspiration from real-life, and finds the most efficient shape (one which maximises the most free space) alongside each road, creating polygonal plots of land. This part of my system needs evaluating, and the way I'm going to do this is through a user-based survey. That's where you come in!

I just require about 5-10 minutes of your time to complete a quick survey, where you have to choose between two images which you think contains computer-generated land plots. All you require is a modern web browser, and a bit of patience. :)

If you can, then thank you very much and I'll be so grateful if you can complete it. This will help me so much with my work. You can even fill it out many times if you want to help more! :) If you can't then I understand, and thank you for reading this far.

If you need more information, then there's a lot more about it on the website. If you encounter any problems at all, please let me know and I'll try sort them out as soon as possible. Otherwise, just click on the link below to go to the survey and complete it!

A massive thank you to everyone who has completed my survey so far. Thank you so much. You've helped me out in a time of need and I owe you one! :) If you feel like completing it a second time, then feel free to.

I've just released another survey which requires you to rate computer-generated settlements. I desperately need new replies, so if you have any time whatsoever, please feel free to complete this survey as many times as you can.

But again, if you don't feel like it, then feel free to just ignore this post. It's just that I really need some extra help with this, and I thank you so much even if you've took the time to read this. :)
