The monitoring of urban area, target detection and building reconstruction have been actively studied and investigated since high resolution X-band SAR images could be acquired by airborne and/or satellite SAR systems. This paper describes an efficient approach to reconstruct artificial structures (e.g. apartment, building and house) in urban area using high resolution X-band SAR images. Building footprint was first extracted from 1:25,000 digital topographic map and then a corner line of building was detected by an automatic detecting algorithm. With SAR amplitude images, an initial building height was calculated by the length of layover estimated using KS-test (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test) from the corner line. The interferometric SAR phases were simulated depending on SAR geometry and changable building heights ranging from -10 m to +10 m of the initial building height. With an interferogram from real SAR data set, the simulation results were compared using the method of the phase consistency. One of results can be finally defined as the reconstructed building height. The developed algorithm was applied to repeat-pass TerraSAR-X spotlight mode data set over an apartment complex in Daejeon city, Korea. The final building heights were validated against reference heights extracted from LiDAR DSM, with an RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) of about 1~2m.

3D building modeling from airborne Lidar without model regularization may cause positional errors or topological inconsistency in building models. Regularization of 3D building models, on the other hand, restricts the types of models which can be reconstructed. To resolve these issues, this paper modelled 3D buildings from airborne Lidar by building model regularization which considers more various types of buildings. Building points are first segmented into roof planes by clustering in feature space and segmentation in object space. Then, 3D building models are reconstructed by consecutive adjustment of planes, lines, and points to satisfy parallelism, symmetry, and consistency between model components. The experimental results demonstrated that the method could make more various types of 3d building models with regularity. The effects of regularization on the positional accuracies of models were also analyzed quantitatively.

This paper presents a new modeling technique to reconstruct road environments. The reconstruction algorithm for road environments consists of three parts - reconstructing 3D models of architectures in road environments, editing and creating road models, and modeling auxiliary objects. Different modeling technique is applied to each of these three parts according to properties objects to be modeled contain. In this reconstruction system, modified Photogrammetric Modeling techique is used, of which the user interface is more convenient, and in which constraints of road environments are considered. These improvements make this road environment reconstruction system much simpler and easier to use compared with Photogrammetric Modeling technique[1, 2].

This paper highlights the reconstruction of the rectilinear type of 3D rooftop model from satellite image data using centroid neural network. The main idea of the proposed 3D reconstruction method is based on the grouping of 3D line segments. 3D lines are extracted by 2D lines and DEM (Digital Elevation Map) data evaluated from a pair of stereo images. Our grouping process consists of two steps. We carry out the first grouping process to group fragmented or duplicated 3D lines into the principal 3D lines, which can be used to construct the rooftop model, and construct the groups of lines that are parallel each other in the second step. From the grouping result, 3D rooftop models are reconstructed by the final clustering process. High-resolution IKONOS images are utilized for the experiments. The experimental result's indicate that the reconstructed building models almost reflect the actual position and shape of buildings in a precise manner, and that the proposed approach can be efficiently applied to building reconstruction problem from high-resolution satellite images of an urban area.

This paper aims at improving the accuracy and computational efficiency in reconstructing building boundaries from airborne Lidar points. We proposed an adaptive convex hull algorithm, which is a modified version of local convex hull algorithm in three ways. The candidate points for boundary are first selected to improve efficiency depending on their local density. Second, a searching-space is adjusted adaptively, based on raw data structure, to extract boundary points more robustly. Third, distance between two points and their IDs are utilized in detecting the seed points of inner boundary to distinguish between inner yards and inner holes due to errors or occlusions. The practicability of the approach were evaluated on two urban areas where various buildings exist. The proposed method showed less shape-dissimilarity(8.5%) and proved to be two times more efficient than the other method.

LiDAR 자료를 이용한 지형 및 공간 정보 자료를 구축하기 위해서는 LiDAR 자료의 오차 보정, 건물영역 및 지면 분리, 건물 및 지형의 재구성 등의 과정이 필요하다. 그 중에서 건물영역 분리 과정은 막대한 양의 LiDAR 자료에 대한 직, 간접적인 처리를 필요로 하며 결과물의 품질에도 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 LiDAR 자료로부터 건물 영역을 분리해 내기 위하여 LiDAR 원 자료를 그대로 활용하는 방식을 제안하였다. 항공레이저측량은 스캔라인을 따라 취득되는 포인트정보를 순서대로 저장하여 제공하므로 LiDAR 자료로부터 연속적으로 입력되는 포인트들은 서로 인접할 가능성이 높다. 이와 같은 특성을 이용하여 유사한 고도 값을 갖는 인접 포인트들로 클래스를 형성하고 새로운 포인트가 속할 클래스를 검색하여 편입시킴으로써 건물영역을 분리해 낸다. 아울러 각 건물 클래스에 대한 레이블링도 자동적으로 수행하며 새로운 포인트가 편입될 클래스를 검색하는 방법에 있어서도, 클래스의 검색 순서와 클래스의 자료 구조를 효율적으로 운용함으로써 성능 향상을 도모하였다.

도시 지역의 대부분을 차지하는 건물에 대한 3차원 정보는 도로, 교통 등의 시설물관리시스템 구축, 도로계획, 택지개발, 도시계획 등 여러 분야에 필요하다. 현재 항공사진, 고해상도 위성영상, LiDAR 자료, 수치사진측량 시스템 등의 보급과 분석 알고리즘의 발전으로 인하여 도시지역 건물 3차원 모델링에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는데, 그 중에서 정밀한 DSM 취득이 가능한 LiDAR 자료가 도시지역 건물 3차원 모델링에 가장 유망한 자료이다. 그러나 LiDAR 자료만을 이용할 경우에는 선형화 과정 등의 수작업이 많이 들어가고, 주관적인 재구성과정이 들어가야 하는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수치지도를 LiDAR 자료와 같이 이용하여 건물 3차원 모델링시 작업자의 수동적인 과정을 단축하였다. 항공사진과 해석도화기를 이용한 정확도 평가 결과 1:5,000 수치지도 정확도 규정을 만족하는 도시지역 건물 3차원 모델링이 가능하였고, 비교적 자동화된 공정을 이루었다.

본 논문에서는 일반 사용자가 사실감 있는 가상공긴 표현을 위해 사진 이미지를 이용하여 직법 텍스춰 매핑을 할 수 있는 방법에 대해 기술한다. 텍스춰매핑은 세 장의 이미지를 이용하는데 각 카메라에서 바라본 건물 표면의 특정 픽셀들과 카메라사이에서 생성되는 각도를 이용한다. 이 각도로 매핑되는 픽셀값에 가중치를 부설하여 건물 외곽에 발생되는 경사와 같은 왜곡현상을 최소화시켜서 매핑된 건물이 실제 건물처럼 사실감이 있도록 매핑할 수 있는 것이다. 이 방법을 이용하여 가상공간을 자동 생성해주는 웹 컨텐츠 구축 시스템의 매핑 인터페이스를 구현하였다. 자동생성된 가상 건물모델에 사용자가 직접 찍은사진영상을 입력하면 랜더링시 텍스춰를 재구성하여 건물모델에 사실감을 증가시키는 역할을 하도륵 하였다.

Three dimensional city model is composed of man-made and natural features, among these, most of man-made features are buildings. Therefore, it is very important to extract the building informations accurately and promptly to update the existing database. To achieve this, DTM can be reconstructed using building Information which is extracted from DTM, then this can be used as three dimensional city model. Thus, this paper aims to extract building boundaries and heights from high resolution DTM and edge informations of aerial photograph using mathematical morphology and image segmentation. We found that it is possible to extract buildings using opening operation in mathematical morphology and to improve the accuracy of building extraction using edge informations from aerial photograph.

This paper presents a method for point-based 3D building reconstruction using Lidar data and digital map. The proposed method consists of three processes: extraction of building roof points, identification of roof types, and 3D building reconstruction. After extracting points inside the polygon of building, the ground surface, wall and tree points among the extracted points are removed through the filtering process. The filtered points are then fitted into the flat plane using ODR(Orthogonal Distance Regression) in the first place. If the fitting error is within the predefined threshold, the surface is classified as a flat roof. Otherwise, the surface is fitted and classified into a gable or arch roof through RMSE analysis. Experimental results showed that the proposed method classified successfully three different types of roof and that the fusion of LIDAR data and digital map could be a feasible method of modeling 3D building reconstruction.
