Abstract

We present the first step of the Rheims city (France) 3D reconstruction based on old postcards. Rheims endured drastic destruction during the First and then the Second World Wars. Old postcards, embodying the period from the beginning to the end of the 20th century, establish a testimony of the evolution in time and space of the most important places and monuments in the city. We aim to localize, render and visualize in 3D the buildings of this city, by using this sparse dataset and incomplete cadastral surveys. Image matching is initially required for locating a building in the city space. In this paper we propose a performance comparison of state-of-the-art detector-descriptor couples. We focus on their robustness and their transformations invariance when low resolution data is subject to temporal and space modifications.
