CREATING PROCEDURAL WINDOWBUILDING BLOCKS USING THE GENERATIVE FACT LABELING METHOD

Abstract. The generative surface reconstruction problem can be stated like this: Given a finite collection of 3D shapes, create a small set of functions that can be combined to generate the given shapes procedurally. We propose generative fact labeling (GFL) as an attempt to organize the iterative process of shape analysis and shape synthesis in a systematic way. We present our results for the reconstruction of complex windows of neo-classical buildings in Graz, followed by a critical discussion of the limitations of the approach.
