Abstract
Domes are architectural structural elements typical for ecclesiastical and secular grand buildings, like churches, mosques, palaces, capitols and city halls. The current paper targets the problem of segmentation of domes within the framework of architectural style classification of building facades. We perform segmentation of building facade domes by combining bilateral symmetry detection, graph-based segmentation approaches and image analysis and processing technics into a single method. Our algorithm achieves good segmentation results on buildings belonging to variety of architectural styles, such as Renaissanse, Neo-Renaissance, Baroque, Neo-Baroque, Neoclassical and Islamic.
