Abstract

A method of operating a three-dimensional (3D) map system including: receiving an image and a geo-location tag of the image; determining a building model for a physical building corresponding to an object captured in the image based on the geo-location tag; mapping, on a region-by-region basis, the image to a stored facade of the building model; and mapping, on a pixel-by-pixel basis, the image to the stored facade of the building model for displaying the image as a new facade of the building.
