3D building model reconstruction is an important issue for urban planning,
disaster management, BIM (Building Information Model) generation and cultural
heritage documentation.
Close‐range photogrammetric method can be used to obtain 3D building model.
Spherical panoramic images is proposed to create 3D building model.
4. Introduction

Frame-based camera
1. Smaller FOV
2. Longer data acquisition time
3. More human effort
Purpose : to reconstruct 3D
indoor/outdoor environment
Spherical camera
1. 720 degrees FOV
2. Shorter data acquisition time
3. Less human effort
Specific Object
Indoor environment
Outdoor environment
5. Introduction
5
Spherical image of an indoor
Stitching Spherical imagery is created by
digitally stitching multiple images taken
from the same position with different
orientations.

6. Introduction

The relationship between 3D and 2D spherical image coordinate
Where:
x, y, z = Cartesian panoramic coordinates
= Cylindrical coordinates
x′, y′ = metric image coordinates
u, v = pixel coordinates
An image point P′ can be defined either by
the cylindrical coordinates or Cartesian
panoramic coordinates
