A Streaming Framework for Seamless Building Reconstruction from Large-Scale Aerial LiDAR Data

Abstract

We present a streaming framework for seamless building reconstruction from huge aerial LiDAR point sets. By storing data as stream files on hard disk and using main memory as only a temporary storage for ongoing computation, we achieve efficient out-of-core data management. This gives us the ability to handle data sets with hundreds of millions of points in a uniform manner. By adapting a building modeling pipeline into our streaming framework, we create the whole urban model of Atlanta from 17.7 GB LiDAR data with 683 M points in under 25 hours using less than 1 GB memory. To integrate this complex modeling pipeline with our streaming framework, we develop a state propagation mechanism, and extend current reconstruction algorithms to handle the large scale of data.
