AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR URBAN MODEL GENERATION

Many tasks in the context of urban planning presume 3D city models, where buildings are represented separately from the terrain surface e.g. by 3D boundary representations. One of the most promising approaches to solve the challenging task of automatic 3D city model acquisition is the integration of multiple data sources to benefit from the complementary types of information. In our approach height data and existing ground plans of buildings and multi-spectral images are combined in an integrated system for the generation of 3D urban models.
