Abstract

An apparatus and method automatically detects and positions structure faces. After receiving data points describing a geographical area, neighborhoods are defined based on the data points and classified as linear, planar, or volumetric. Neighborhoods are merged into at least one cluster based on local surface normals. At least one bounding frame is fit to the at least one cluster and modified based on a field of interest.
