- Abstract
Semantic information in 3D building models is of vital importance for various applications in terms of smart cities. To infer the semantic information and localize the components on building facades, this article proposes a novel approach to model facades with semantics by constructing hierarchical topological graphs. This method utilizes the topological characteristics of building facades. In the first‐layer layout graph, the algorithm takes the nearest cluster as the vertex and the distance between components as the edge. Thus, a topology graph is generated for the facade. The proposed algorithm is divided into three steps. First, the topology graph is obtained by calculating the spacing between the components. It is reasonable to calculate the topological graph by encoding the topological edges. If this calculation is not effective, the topology is justified by adjusting the spacing between components. Finally, the vertices in the graph are used to repair the occluded parts of the facade. In the second‐layer graph, a grid is constructed according to the first‐layer graph. Then, the attributes of the nodes are used to reconstruct the facade. The experimental results show that this method has a high accuracy of 90% and that the average time consumption is 6 s.
