Abstract
A system and method is provided for generating textured 3D building models from ground-level imagery. Ground-level images for the sides/corners of building objects are collected for identification of key architectural features, corresponding key façade geometry planes, and generation of a 3D building façade geometry. The 3D building model is properly geo-positioned, scaled and textured.
