A concise survey for 3D reconstruction of building façades
3D facade modeling consists of representing architectural elements of a building in detail so that both geometry and appearance are generated in a photo-realistic 3D scene. In this article, we review four main techniques used to solve this problem: photogrammetry, sparse and dense reconstruction based on SfM (Structure from Motion) and procedural modeling. We provide a comparison of several methods in these categories by considering their main advantages and limitations.
