Boundary-aware 3D Building Reconstruction from a Single
Overhead Image
q Challenges:
o Buildings are often densely packed -
this leads to overlapped detections.
o Building height prediction is ill-posed
from a single image.
o Parametric modeling limits building
modeling ability of existing methods.

Given an overhead image we propose:

3D building modeling steps
1. Jointly learn building outline detection, BPSH, nDSM, and semantic labeling
using-
𝐿𝑜𝑠𝑠 = 𝛼! 𝐿"#$%&'( + 𝛼) 𝐿*+,- + 𝛼. 𝐿'/,0 + 𝛼1 𝐿,(0
2. (optional) use building outline detection to improve BPSH using instance level
reasoning.
