Automatic generation of façade textures from terrestrial thermal infrared image sequences.

This paper discusses the automatic texturing of building facades from thermal infrared image sequences. A fully automatic method is presented to refine GPS based positions using a relative orientation of the image sequence and preknowledge of a given building model in a bundle adjustment process. The resulting refined orientation parameters are used to project the infrared images of the sequence onto the building facade. The resulting partial textures are combined to get complete facade textures in the thermal infrared domain. The quality of the presented method is evaluated using RGB textures as ground truth and stochastic parameters from the adjustment process.
