Solutions to 3D Building Reconstruction from Photographs

The 3D model reconstruction of buildings from uncalibrated photographs allows new useful Computer Graphics and Computer Vision applications. In this paper we survey some solutions proposed in literature and in commerce. The common and different methodology are reported and described. Finally we try to address the 3D reconstruction problem of architectural scenes presenting our solution: BolBol. We demonstrate our reconstruction process and some results obtained applying BolBol to the modeling of real buildings.
