Abstract

In this paper we describe techniques for the automated creation of geometric correct 3-D models of the building using two 2-D laser scanners. One of the laser scanners is used for position estimation using a scan matching algorithm, while the other is used to build 3-D models of the facade of the buildings. Those models can be used for virtual reality, tele-presence, digital cinematography and urban planning applications. Results are shown for building models in our campus using real data acquired from two sensors.
