Abstract

We present a system for the reconstruction of houses from aerial images. Most of the methods proposed so far use rather specific models. These models do not hold when dealing with Europeanised houses. Our system works with rules instead of models merely based on shape. This enables us to include additional domain specific knowledge, allowing a larger variability of the objects. However this also necessitates a more complex structure of the knowledge base and a more sophisticated reasoning control. We explain the practical application of such a system for the reconstruction of a house from an aerial image
