Automatically Generating Roof Models from Building Footprints

چکیده
Modelling Large Urban Environments using traditional modelling techniques would prove too time consuming a process. Consequently a method is required for generating large urban environments quickly without requiring a labour intensive process or expensive data. Some approaches to resolve this problem have been undertaken through the use of procedural modelling or statistics. However the test subject is usually a dense urban environment where the primary buildings are of the skyscraper style. This paper presents the initial design and implementation towards a method for modelling a large environment based on building footprint information. It shows the use of the straight skeleton method with modifications to allow several different roof styles to be generated.

Automatic Generation of 3D Building Models with General Shaped Roofs by Straight Skeleton Computation
3D city models are important in several fields, such as urban planning and gaming industries. However, enormous time and labor has to be consumed to create these 3D models, using a 3D modeling software such as 3ds Max or SketchUp. In order to automate laborious steps, we are proposing a GIS and CG integrated system for automatically generating 3D building models, based on building polygons (bui...
متن کاملA Hybrid Approach for Three-Dimensional Building Reconstruction in Indianapolis from LiDAR Data
3D building models with prototypical roofs are more valuable in many applications than 2D building footprints. This research proposes a hybrid approach, combining the dataand model-driven approaches for generating LoD2-level building models by using medium resolution (0.91 m) LiDAR nDSM, the 2D building footprint and the high resolution orthophoto for the City of Indianapolis, USA. The main obj...
متن کاملAutomatic Generation of Building Models in Dense Urban Areas Using Airborne Lidar and Aerial Photograph
Abstract: In this paper, an algorithm is proposed for automatically generating three-dimensional (3D) building models in dense urban areas. Automatic 3D building modeling in dense urban areas is challenging because, especially in Japan, houses that have slant roofs are located close to each other, and their heights are similar. For this case, difficulty in separating point clouds into individua...
متن کاملAutomatic Building Extraction from DEMs using an Object Approach and Application to the 3D-city Modeling
In this paper, we present an automatic building extraction method based on an object approach from Digital Elevation Models. First, a rough approximation of the building footprints is realized by a method based on marked point processes: the building footprints are modeled by rectangle layouts. Then, these rectangular footprints are regularized by improving the connection between the neighborin...
متن کاملA Hybrid Approach to Extraction and Refinement of Building Footprints from Airborne Lidar Data
This work presents a combined bottom-up and top-down approach to extraction and refinement of building footprints from airborne LIDAR data. Building footprints are interesting for many applications in urban planning. The cadastral maps, however, may be limited for certain areas or not be updated frequently. Airborne laser scanning data is therefore considered by many people in the last decade a...
