Completing Facades

Introduction

Venice is a unique city with both cultural and historical significance. Digital copies of cities and historical cites allows us to preserve and understand them better. Photogrammetry is a technology that can be used to do this which uses images and scans to create models of real world objects and sites. However, due to the nature of the technology there are often holes, missing regions and noise in the data. This project aims to fill in holes in data of facades in Venice by also using historical data of buildings in Venice. For this 2D images from photogrammetry of Venice is used. The dataset includes completed and incomplete facades. To achieve this aim a method for creating artificial holes in facades was create together with a method for detecting holes in facades. Two methods for alining footprints of Venice buildings was implemented in order to align a hand drawn map with the footprint of Venice. For the filling of the holes GAN was used.
