Realistic 3D building construction in urban area has become an important issue because of increasing demand of 3D geo-spatial information in many application. Contrary to the conventional 3D building model construction approach using aerial images and high-resolution satellite imagery, it has been researched widely in building reconstruction using high-accuracy aerial LIDAR data in the latest. This paper presents a method for 3D building construction through building outlines extraction by LoG operator's Zero-crossing and line generation and refinement by Douglas-Peucker algorithm.

This paper presents an algorithm for 3D building reconstruction from a pair of stereo aerial images using the 3D building model and the linear segments of building. Direct extraction of linear segments from original building images using parametric building model is attempted instead of employing the conventional procedures such as edge detection, linear approximation and line linking A segment measure function is simultaneously applied to each line segment extracted in order to improve the accuracy of building detection comparing to individual linear segment detection. The algorithm has been applied to pairs of stereo aerial images and the result showed accurate detection and reconstruction of buildings.

여러 분야에서 활용성이 증가하고 있는 도시지역에 대한 3차원 모형화 구축은 기존에는 항공사진이나 고해상도 위성영상을 주로 활용하여 왔으나, 최근에는 높은 정밀도를 보장하는 항공LIDAR 측량기법에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히, 다양한 형태, 크기, 종류의 건물들이 존재하는 광범위한 도시지역을 모형화 하기 위하여 정밀도가 높은 LIDAR 자료를 통하여 신속하고 정확하게 현실에 가까운 건물 모형으로 복원하는 기술 개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 LIDAR 관측자료 및 디지털 영상, 수치지도 등의 자료를 활용하여 LIDAR자료의 전처리 과정과 다양한 필터를 적용하여 지면과 비지면 정보를 분류하였으며, LoG 연산자에 의한 건물 경계선 및 특징점 추출기법을 개발하여 도시 지역의 3차원 건물 복원기법을 제안하였다.

This paper presented an effective strategy to extract the buildings and to reconstruct 3-D buildings using high-resolution multispectral stereo satellite images. Proposed scheme contained three major steps: building enhancement and segmentation using both BDT (Background Discriminant Transformation) and ISODATA algorithm, conjugate building identification using the object matching with Hausdorff distance and color indexing, and 3-D building reconstruction using photogrammetric techniques. IKONOS multispectral stereo images were used to evaluate the scheme. As a result, the BDT technique was verified as an effective tool for enhancing building areas since BDT suppressed the dominance of background to enhance the building as a non-background. In building recognition, color information itself was not enough to identify the conjugate building pairs since most buildings are composed of similar materials such as concrete. When both Hausdorff distance for edge information and color indexing for color information were combined, most segmented buildings in the stereo images were correctly identified. Finally, 3-D building models were successfully generated using the space intersection by the forward RFM (Rational Function Model).

In this paper, we propose a semi-automatic 3D building reconstruction method using uncalibrated images which includes the facade of target building. First, we extract feature points in all images and find corresponding points between each pair of images. Second, we extract lines on each image and estimate the vanishing points. Extracted lines are grouped with respect to their corresponding vanishing points. The adjacency graph is used to organize the image sequence based on the number of corresponding points between image pairs and camera calibration is performed. The initial solid model can be generated by some user interactions using grouped lines and camera pose information. From initial solid model, a detailed building model is reconstructed by a combination of predefined basic Euler operators on half-edge data structure. Automatically computed geometric information is visualized to help user's interaction during the detail modeling process. The proposed system allow the user to get a 3D building model with less user interaction by augmenting various automatically generated geometric information.

본 논문에서는 건물이 포함된 스테레오 영상으로부터 건물을 3차원적으로 복원하기 위한 선소 특징 기반 정합 알고리듬에 대해 다루고 있다. 기존의 선소 특징 기반 정합 알고리듬은 선소 추출 기법의 성능에 많이 의존하고, 좌우 영상에서 추출된 에지 길이와 방향이 서로 차이가 날 경우 오정합이 많이 발생한다. 따라서, 건물의 형태를 올바르게 나타내지 못하는 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위하여 선소의 중심 및 양 끝점 외에 선소에 방향까지 고려하는 새로운 탐색 영역 설정 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 선소기반 정합에서 정합이 잘 이뤄지지 않는 수평선 정합 문제를 해결하기 위한 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 한편 편평한 건물 가정 하에서 미정합된 건물 내부의 변이값을 얻기 위해 건물 추출 결과와 정합된 선소들을 이용한 보간법을 사용하였다. 제안한 알고리듬을 스테레오 항공 영상에 적용한 결과, 기존의 Hussien 등이 제안한 알고리듬에 비해 좋은 성능을 보였다.

Efficient 3D generation of cultural features, such as buildings in urban area is becoming increasingly important for a number of GIS applications. For reconstruction or 3D building in urban area aerial images, satellite images, LIDAR data have been used mainly. In case of automatically extracting and reconstructing of building height using single aerial images or single satellite images, there are a lot of problems, such as mismatching that result from a geometric distortion of optical images. Therefore, researches or integrating optical images and existing 2D GIS data(e.g. digital map) has been in progress. In this paper, we focused on extracting of building height by means or interest points and vortical line locus for reducing matching points. Also we used digital plotter in order to validate for the results in this study using aerial images(1/5,000) and existing digital map(1/1,000).

Modeling 3D buildings is an essential process to revive the real world into a computer. There are two ways to create a 3D building model. The first method is to use the building layer of 1:1000 digital maps based on high density point data gained from airborne laser surveying. The second method is to use LiDAR point data with digital images achieved with LiDAR. In this research we tested one sheet area of 1:1000 digital map with both methods to process a 3D building model. We have developed a process, analyzed quantitatively and evaluated the efficiency, accuracy, and reality. The resulted differed depending on the buildings shape. The first method was effective on simple buildings, and the second method was effective on complicated buildings. Also, we evaluated the accuracy of the produced model. Comparing the 3D building based on LiDAR data and digital image with digital maps, the horizontal accuracy was within ${\pm}50cm$. From the above we derived a conclusion that 3D building modeling is more effective when it is based on LiDAR data and digital maps. Using produced 3D building modeling data, we will be utilized as digital contents in various fields like 3D GIS, U-City, telematics, navigation, virtual reality and games etc.

Three dimensional urban models are being increasingly applied for various purposes such as city planning, telecommunication cell planning, traffic analysis, environmental monitoring and disaster management. In recent years, technologies from CAD and GIS are being merged to find optimal solutions in three dimensional modeling of urban buildings. These solutions include modeling of the interior building space as well as its exterior shape visualization. Research and development effort in this area has been performed by scientists and engineers from Computer Graphics, CAD and GIS. Computer Graphics and CAD focussed on precise and efficient visualization, where as GIS emphasized on topology and spatial analysis. Complementary research effort is required for an effective model to serve both visualization and spatial analysis purposes. This study presents an efficient way of using the CAD plans included in the building register documents to reconstruct the internal space of buildings. Topological information was built in the geospatial database and merged with the geometric information of CAD plans. as well as other attributal data from the building register. The GIS network modeling method introduced in this study is expected to enable an effective 3 dimensional spatial analysis of building interior which is developing with increasing complexity and size.
