Abstract
A computer system is described for automatically generating a three-dimensional model of a structure. The computer system includes hardware and one or more non-transitory computer readable medium accessible by the hardware and storing instructions that when executed by the hardware cause the hardware to: locate multiple oblique images containing a real façade texture of a structure having a geographical position from one or more database of oblique images; select a base oblique image from the multiple oblique images by analyzing, with selection logic, image raster content of the real façade texture depicted in the multiple oblique images, the selection logic using a factorial analysis of the image raster content; and, relate the real façade texture of the base oblique image to the three dimensional model to provide a real-life representation of physical characteristics of the structure within the three-dimensional model.
