SEQUENTIAL MODELLING OF BUILDING ROOFTOPS BY INTEGRATING AIRBORNE LIDAR DATA AND OPTICAL IMAGERY: PRELIMINARY RESULTS

This paper presents a sequential rooftop modelling method to refine initial rooftop models derived from airborne LiDAR data by integrating it with linear cues retrieved from single imagery. A cue integration between two datasets is facilitated by creating new topological features connecting between...
