Abstract
We present a method for automatically constructing
compact, photo-realistic architectural 3D models. This
method uses simple 3D building outlines obtained from ex-
isting GIS databases to bootstrap reconstruction and works
with both structured and unstructured image datasets. We
propose an optimal view-selection algorithm for selecting
