Abstract
A method and related software are disclosed for processing imagery related to three dimensional models. To display new visual data for select portions of images, an image of a physical structure such as a building with a façade is retrieved with an associated three dimensional model for that physical structure according to common geolocation tags. A scaffolding of surfaces composing the three dimensional model is generated and regions of the retrieved image are registered to the surfaces of the scaffolding to create mapped surfaces for the image. New image data such as texture information is received and applied to select mapped surfaces to give the retrieved image the appearance of having the new texture data at the selected mapped surface.
