Abstract


3D reconstruction of urban environments is a widely studied subject since several years, since it can lead to many useful applications: virtual navigation, augmented reality, architectural planning etc. One of the most difficult problem today in this context is acquisition and processing of data when the aim is very large scale and precise reconstruction. I will present a system for computing geo-referenced positions and orientations of buildings from non calibrated videos. Providing such an information is a mandatory step to well conditioned large scale and precise 3D reconstruction of urban areas. Our method is based on the fusion of multi-modal datasets, namely GPS measures, video sequences and rough 3D models of buildings.
