Abstract
Computer systems and methods are described for automatically generating a 3D model, including, with computer processor(s), obtaining geo-referenced images representing the geographic location of a structure containing one or more real façade texture of the structure; locating a geographical position of real façade texture(s) of the structure; selecting base oblique image(s) from the images by analyzing image raster content of the real façade texture depicted in the images with selection logic; analyzing the real façade texture to locate a geographical position of at least one occlusion using pixel pattern recognition of the real façade texture; locating oblique image(s) having an unoccluded image characteristic of the occlusion in the real façade texture; applying the real façade texture to wire-frame data of the structure to create a 3D model of the structure; and applying the unoccluded image characteristic to the real façade texture to remove the occlusion from the real façade texture.
