Abstract
Urban landscape restoration by 3D computer graphics is active in recent years. If buildings are reconstructed one by one, many additional tasks would be caused. For examples, deformation of facade textures of buildings have to be removed and the textures have to be adjusted to 3D models. The heights of 3D buildings have to be adjusted to adjacent buildings. Thus, we proposed a novel method to model several buildings from a facade texture database. Proposed method is based on image query techniques which search and find similar buildings from a facade texture database to the buildings in the photograph. In this paper, first, we evaluate a performance to find similar buildings by proposed method. Next, we discuss a new image query technique to find more similar buildings than previous method.
