A Synergistic Approach for Recovering Occlusion-Free Textured 3D Maps of Urban Facades from Heterogeneous Cartographic Data [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper we present a practical approach for generating an occlusion-free textured 3D map of urban facades by the synergistic use of terrestrial images, 3D point clouds and area-based information.

Sound fields near building facades: comparison of finite and semi-infinite reflectors on a rigid ground plane [PDF]
, 2009 The sound field in front of, and close to a building facade is relevant to the measurement and prediction of environmental noise and sound insulation. For simplicity it is often assumed that the facade can be treated as a semi-infinite reflector, however

Interactive Facades Analysis and Synthesis of Semi‐Regular Facades [PDF]
Computer Graphics Forum, 2013 AbstractUrban facades regularly contain interesting variations due to allowed deformations of repeated elements (e.g., windows in different open or close positions) posing challenges to state‐of‐the‐art facade analysis algorithms. We propose a semi‐automatic framework to recover both repetition patterns of the elements and their individual deformation ...
