Quality Enhancement Techniques for Building Models Derived from Sparse Point Clouds

Abstract

This paper describes processing steps that improve both geometric consistency and appearance of CityGML models. In addition to footprints from cadastral data and sparse point clouds obtained from airborne laser scanning, we use true orthophotos to better detect and model edges. Also, procedures to heal self-intersection of polygons and non-planarity of roof facets are presented. Additionally, the paper describes an algorithm to cut off invisible parts of walls. We incorporate these processing steps into our data based framework for building model generation from sparse point clouds. Results are presented for German cities of Krefeld and Leverkusen.
