Abstract

Using Computer Vision techniques, a system was designed that automatically creates 3D virtual building models from 2D diagrams, such as architectural blueprints. The software creates vertex point data from the distinct features found in these 2D blueprints and virtual walls by extruding found line segments. Augmented Reality is then used to overlay the virtual 3D structure on the real 2D diagram.
