Computer Vision Image Interpretation for 3D Model Reconstruction

Toyon Research Corporation (Toyon) and the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) propose research, development, and demonstration of algorithms and an efficient software prototype for 3D model reconstruction using single images collected via remote sensing. In particular, the effort is focused on processing of high-resolution commercial satellite images for 3D reconstruction of buildings. Both human-designed geometric methods and deep learning methods will be investigated. Classification and 3D model reconstruction for non-building scene content will also be investigated. The resulting software prototype will provide the reconstructed 3D models in standard formats for convenient integration with government end user processes.
