3-D virtual city model is becoming increasingly important for a number of GIS applications. For reconstruction of 3D building in urban area aerial images, satellite images, LIDAR data have been used mainly and most of researches related to 3-D reconstruction focus on development of method for extraction of building height and reconstruction of building. In case of automatically extracting and reconstructing of building height using only aerial images or satellite images, there are a lot of problems, such as mismatching that result from a geometric distortion of optical images. Therefore, researches of integrating optical images and existing digital map (1/1,000) has been in progress. In this paper, we focused on extracting of building height by means of interest points and vertical line locus method for reducing matching points. Also we used digital plotter in order to validate for the results in this study using aerial images (1/5,000) and existing digital map (1/1,000).

Countries around the world have recognized the importance of personal information protection and have discussed protecting the rights of data subjects in various forms such as laws, regulations, and guidelines. PbD (Privacy by Design) is one of the concepts that are commonly emphasized as a precautionary measure for the protection of personal information, and it is starting to attract attention as an essential element for protecting the privacy of information subjects. However, the concept of PbD to prioritize individual privacy in system development or service operation in advance is still only at the declarative level, so there is relatively little discussion on specific methods to implement it. Therefore, this study discusses which principles and rights should be prioritized to implement PbD based on the basic principles of GDPR and the rights of data subjects. This study is meaningful in that it suggests a plan for the practical implementation of PbD by presenting the privacy considerations that should be prioritized when developing systems or services in the domestic environment.
