Evaluation of Model Recognition for Grammar-Based Automatic 3d Building Model Reconstruction

Abstract

ABSTRACT:In recent years, 3D city models are in high demand by many public and private organisations, and the steadily growing capacity in both quality and quantity are increasing demand. The quality evaluation of these 3D models is a relevant issue both from the scientific and practical points of view. In this paper, we present a method for the quality evaluation of 3D building models which are reconstructed automatically from terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data based on an attributed building grammar. The entire evaluation process has been performed in all the three dimensions in terms of completeness and correctness of the reconstruction. Six quality measures are introduced to apply on four datasets of reconstructed building models in order to describe the quality of the automatic reconstruction, and also are assessed on their validity from the evaluation point of view.

Automatic 3d Reconstruction of Buildings Roof Tops in Densely Urbanized Areas

“…In recent literature there are several Grammar-based automatic and semi-automatic reconstruction procedures. The most well-known examples are Lsystems (Lindenmayer-systems), Shape Grammars (McKay et al, 2012;Karantzalos and Paragios, 2010), Split Grammar (Wonka et al 2003), Computer Generated Architecture (CGA) Grammar (Müller et al, 2006), Formal Grammars (Becker and Haala, 2009) and Attributed Building Grammar (Yu et al, 2014;Yu et al, 2016).…”

“…Reconstructing 3D surfaces is a well-studied problem, attracting the growing interest of the scientific community, for many years. Although there is an impressive amount of different approaches (Yu et al, 2014;Makantasis et al, 2015;Yu et al, 2016;Alidoost and Arefi, 2016;Köhn et al, 2016;McClunea et al, 2016), aiming the 3D reconstruction of the real world, there is still room for improvements. In the proposed methodology, screened Poisson surface reconstruction (Kazhdan and Hoppe, 2013) is utilized, for the reconstruction of buildings roof tops in densely urbanized areas.…”
