Abstract

There is an increasing request for 3D data on city objects of all kinds, confirmed by a recent European wide study on 3D city models. To acquire 3D information in urban areas still is costly, only automated or at least semi-automatic methods appear feasible in the long run to reach the cost-effectiveness, necessary for a broad application. The variety of tasks and available sensor data is very large, which puts high requirements on the design of methods and the flexibility of the acquisition process. This paper discusses the requirements we have encountered so far. We present the design and current status of a stimi-automatic system for 3D building acquisition. We demonstrate the potential for handling a variety of applications, using different sensor data under different, initial conditions.
