Abstract
An approach is provided for identifying objects present in mesh representation of a geo-location, generating accurate 3D models for the objects, and aligning the 3D models to their corresponding objects in an application. The approach comprises processing and/or facilitating a processing of textured three-dimensional mesh data in one or more regions of interest to cause, at least in part, a generation of at least one two-dimensional depth image representation. The approach further comprises causing, at least in part, a filtering of the textured three-dimensional mesh data in the one or more regions of interest to remove mesh data below at least one threshold height based, at least in part, on the at least one two-dimensional depth image representation. Additionally, the approach comprises processing and/or facilitating a processing of the filtered textured three-dimensional mesh data to cause, at least in part, a generation of at least one partial three-dimensional model, including one or more upper facades above the at least one threshold height, of one or more objects located within the one or more regions of interest.
