Urban streets contain far more spatial information than a collection of ordinary photographs can preserve. Building facades, storefronts, road markings, signs, curbs, trees, streetlights, parked vehicles, and public facilities all form part of a connected environment. When this environment must be documented for planning, design, simulation, or visual presentation, teams need a practical way to capture both its geometry and its appearance.
Traditional street modeling can require professional surveying equipment, repeated scanner setup, extensive photography, and considerable manual reconstruction. Mobile 3D applications are easier to use, but their results may lack the spatial consistency or visual quality required for larger real-world scenes.
