As urban development recently, the need for detailed 3D city models grows exponentially. Central to these models are the 3D depictions of buildings, indispensable for hazard assessments such as flood and earthquake risks, and post-disaster evaluations. Central to these models are the 3D depictions of buildings, indispensable for hazard assessments such as flood and earthquake risks, and post-disaster evaluations. These models are primarily derived from 3D point cloud data, sourced from LiDAR scans or photogrammetry. While aerial mapping is a prevalent method to collect this point cloud data, the task of generating thorough point cloud maps for buildings becomes challenging.
