Abstract : This case study reviews the procedural modeling methodology to reconstruct 3D buildings when given a single facade 2D image view and their corresponding footprint. This is an algorithmic approach when compared with existing software tools that are used for mass 3D building model generation like CityEngine. Procedural modeling framework accepts the best production rule given a particular alignment of footprint. We have evaluated the framework using modeling experiments by taking real building footprint data and 2D photographs. We have proved the reliability of procedural modeling framework from the results of user satisfaction survey. The Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.86 suggests that the results are statistically significant.
