<abstract>
<p>The automated and cost-effective building detection in ultra high spatial resolution is of major importance for various engineering and
smart city applications. To this end, in this paper, a model-based building detection technique has been developed able to extract and
reconstruct buildings from UAV aerial imagery and low-cost imaging sensors. In particular, the developed approach through advanced
structure from motion, bundle adjustment and dense image matching computes a DSM and a true orthomosaic from the numerous
GoPro images which are characterised by important geometric distortions and fish-eye effect. An unsupervised multi-region, graphcut
segmentation and a rule-based classification is responsible for delivering the initial multi-class classification map. The DTM is
then calculated based on inpaininting and mathematical morphology process. A data fusion process between the detected building
from the DSM/DTM and the classification map feeds a grammar-based building reconstruction and scene building are extracted and
reconstructed. Preliminary experimental results appear quite promising with the quantitative evaluation indicating detection rates at
object level of 88% regarding the correctness and above 75% regarding the detection completeness.</p>
