    Working Group III / 4 - Complex scene analysis and 3D reconstruction, 2008-2012
             
  
 

 

Our mission:

Our working group aims at making progress in the automatic recognition and 3D reconstruction of objects in complex scenes from images, point clouds, and other sensor data. The emphasis is on urban scenes characterized by the occurrence of different object classes such as vegetation, buildings, roads, street furniture and cars, with the goal of generating high-resolution 3D City Models. The working group is focused on but not restricted to analysis techniques that are capable of handling multiple object classes or that exploit models of the interconnections between different object classes for scene analysis. It is also our goal to evaluate methods for object extraction and the suitability of different sensors for that task.

 

Terms of Reference:

  • Models and techniques for extraction of buildings, roads, cars, vegetation, and other objects for the generation and update of high-resolution 3D city models and road databases from aerial, spaceborne and terrestrial image, laser, and (In)SAR data.
  • Interpretation of the above sensor data possibly together with information from traditional cartographic products, CAD models, and urban GIS.
  • Development of analysis tools and models required to integrate information about multiple object classes and their interconnections within complex scenes.
  • Automatic and semi-automatic generation of urban models with level-of-detail (LOD) and inferred attribution including analysis of the trade-off between geometry and radiometry / texture for visualization.
  • Assessment of efficiency and quality of techniques for these objects and their dependence on the quality of the input data.
