During rendering, ground level images are mapped onto the facades of the buildings to improve the visual quality of the scene. This paper focuses on a technique that enables ground level images to be automatically integrated into an existing coarse three-dimensional environment. The approach utilises the planar nature of architectural scenes to enable the automatic extraction of a building facade from an image and its registration into the virtual environment.10.1111/j.1467-8659.2006.00918.x69-82
