Abstract

We present a quasi-automatic image-based building reconstruction system that recovers fully relightable models by approximating both albedo and sufficient textured surface detail to reproduce complex self-shadowing effects. Albedo and surface geometric detail are recovered though an exemplar-based transfer approach. We focus on a simple data capture, inexpensive equipment and automatic processes. This system provides perceptually high-quality models approximating well the visual appearance of the relit building.
