| Metropogis: A Semi-Automatic City Documentation System (2003) | |||||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||||
| In this paper we report on a new system to augment a 3D block model of a real city with geo-referenced terrestrial images of the facades. The terrestrial images are taken by a hand-held digital consumer camera using short baselines. The relative orientation of the photographs is calculated automatically and fitted towards the 3D block model with minimized human input using vanishing points. The introduced city documentation system delivers a fully 3D geographic information data set and is called MetropoGIS. | |||||||||||||||||
