Abstract

Computer systems and methods are described for automatically generating a 3D model, including identifying wire-frame data of a structure within an area of interest; obtaining, using a geographical location of the structure, multiple geo-referenced images representing the geographic location of the structure and containing one or more real façade texture of the structure; locating a geographical position of one or more real façade texture of the structure; selecting one or more base oblique image from the multiple geo-referenced images by analyzing image raster content of the real façade texture depicted in the multiple geo-referenced images with selection logic, the selection logic analyzing at least two factors of each of the multiple geo-referenced images; and, applying the real façade texture of the one or more base oblique image to the wire-frame data of the structure to create a three dimensional model providing a real-life representation of physical characteristics of the structure.
