3D-reconstruction of urban scenes using satellite images and pairwise geometric histograms

Abstract

Approach to the reconstruction of three-dimensional models of cities from satellite images is presented in this paper. Possible areas of the use of the research results are presented. The reconstruction is based on image recognition and search of the three-dimensional object model in the database. Selecting and decomposition of the contour of the building are performed at an early stage. Recognition is based on comparing the geometric histograms of standard object and images. Image vectorization is used to construct geometric histogram. Image roofs are used for reconstruction. The results of the algorithm are given.
