This paper presents an approach to creating a polyhedral model of building roof from LiDAR point clouds using clustering techniques. A building point cloud is first separated into planar and breakline sections using the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix in a small neighbourhood. The planar components from the point cloud are then grouped into small patches containing 6-8 points and their nor...

The green agenda for cities and the economy in general is a major focus of global institutions and is increasingly a major national and urban priority.
