textured piecewise planar 3D model of a building or architectural scene from an unordered collection of photographs.
Abstract
We present an interactive system for generating photorealistic, tex-
tured, piecewise-planar 3D models of architectural structures and
urban scenes from unordered sets of photographs. To reconstruct
3D geometry in our system, the user draws outlines overlaid on
2D photographs. The 3D structure is then automatically computed
