Abstract

Airborne LiDAR data can be used to create 3D terrain models useful in augmented or virtual reality in which real-world landscapes are incorporated. Automatic generation of 3D models of man-made structures such as buildings is essential for creating these detailed models. We present a method that builds a 3D mesh, segments the triangles, and forms planar facets that correspond to a roof structure of a target building. We illustrate our method with real-world data sets.
