Reconstruction of building façades using spaceborne multiview TomoSAR point clouds

چکیده
In this paper we present an approach that allows automatic reconstruction of building façades from 4D point cloud generated from tomographic SAR processing. The approach is modular and works by extracting façade points from the point density projected onto the ground plane. Individual façades are segmented using an unsupervised clustering procedure. Surface (flat or curved) model parameters of the segmented building façades are further estimated and finally the geometric primitives such as intersection points of the adjacent façades are determined to complete the reconstruction process. The proposed approach is illustrated and validated by examples using TomoSAR point clouds generated from TerraSAR-X high resolution spotlight images.

Façade structure reconstruction using spaceborne TomoSAR point clouds
Very high resolution SAR tomography using multiple data stacks from different viewing angles enables us for the first time to generate 4D point clouds of the illuminated area from space with a point density comparable to LiDAR. They can be potentially used for façade reconstruction and monitoring in urban environment. In this paper, we propose an approach for façade detection and reconstruction...
متن کاملReconstruction of Building Footprints Using Spaceborne Tomosar Point Clouds
This paper presents an approach that automatically (but parametrically) reconstructs 2-D/3-D building footprints using 3-D synthetic aperture radar (SAR) tomography (TomoSAR) point clouds. These point clouds are generated by processing SAR image stacks via SAR tomographic inversion. The proposed approach reconstructs the building outline by exploiting both the roof and façade points. Initial bu...

متن کاملQuality Dependent Reconstruction of Building Façades
The paper describes an approach for the quality dependent reconstruction of building façades using 3D point clouds from mobile terrestrial laser scanning. Due to different look angles, such measurements frequently suffer from different point densities at the respective building façades. In order to support the interpretation at areas, where no or only limited LiDAR measurements are available, a...
