GENERATING MULTI-DIMENSIONAL BUILDING MODELS WITH GROUND LEVEL IMAGES

摘要

A system and method is provided for generating textured 3D building models from ground-level imagery. Ground-level images for the sides/corners of building objects are collected for identification of key architectural features, corresponding key facade geometry planes, and generation of a 3D building facade geometry. The 3D building model is properly geo-positioned, scaled and textured.

主权项

1. A method for a capture device, the method comprising:
collecting, using the capture device, a plurality of captured ground-level images for a plurality of sides of a building object, the collecting including capturing and storing in computer memory of the capture device the plurality of captured ground-level images from multiple angles and multiple distances as a user of the capture device circumnavigates the building object; communicating, using the capture device, with a remote image processing system to include transferring the plurality of captured ground-level images from the capture device to computer memory of the remote image processing system; receiving from the remote image processing system a textured multi-dimensional building model of the building object, the textured multi-dimensional building model including one or more model surfaces reflecting one or more of the plurality of captured ground-level images; and displaying the textured multi-dimensional building model of the building object on a display of the capture device.
