A new approach to image-based realistic architecture modeling with featured solid library

To overcome restrictions of present modeling techniques, and to approach quick and convenient 3D architecture modeling, we present a realistic modeling system on the basis of a featured solid library. The system incorporates reference library techniques to build up realistic models from a single image. In our approach, parameterized solid components are mapped to 2D featured projection graphs on image plane, and matching features of all component graphs with the resource image results in 3D realistic scene, whether complex or irregular. Besides, a suite of texture toolkit is implemented to rectify flaws of texture mapping and to enhance modeling reality. Our approach works feasibly and robustly with single-vision images taken from arbitrary view angles, and the efficiency of our approach is proved in systematic modeling experiments. As our approach complemented image-based modeling techniques in construction CAD and digital city systems, it could be of popular use in relevant modeling software.
