Abstract
The lightweight representation of 3D building models has played an increasingly important role in the comprehensive application of urban 3D models. Polygonization is a compact and lightweight representation for which a fundamental challenge is the fidelity of building models. In this paper, we propose an improved polyhedralization method for 3D building models based on guided plane segmentation, topology correction, and corner point clump optimization. Improvements due to our method arise from three aspects: (1) A plane-guided segmentation method is used to improve the simplicity and reliability of planar extraction. (2) Based on the structural characteristics of a building, incorrect topological connections of thin-plate planes are corrected, and the lamellar structure is recovered. (3) Optimization based on corner point clumps reduces redundant corner points and improves the realism of a polyhedral building model. We conducted detailed qualitative and quantitative analyses of building mesh models from multiple datasets, and the results show that our method obtains concise and reliable segmented planes by segmentation, obtains high-fidelity building polygonal models, and improves the structural perception of building polygonization.
