Discovering structural regularity in facade image
Weiwei Li, Xin Zheng, Jie Chen · 2010
3D reconstruction from single view is a very difficult problem in computer vision and computer graphics. Few works have been done in this area. In this paper, we proposed a method to discover structural regularity in single facade images on the procedural modeling of buildings by using SIFT algorithm. Firstly, symmetry information is detected from the image using SIFT algorithm for image analysis. Next, the symmetry information will be removed from the facade image. Finally, get the SIFT feature of widows and doors. Experiments show that our method can successfully discover regular structures with a higher recognition rate than existing method especially amidst shadowing and the changing illumination environment.
