Level of detail (LoD)-2 reconstruction is an inevitable task in digital twin-related applications such as disaster management, flood simulation, landslide simulation and solar panel recommendation. However, there is a lack of capable methods that can exploit fine details in RGB imagery and mitigate noise in photogrammetric digital surface models (DSMs). Our investigation is focused on the use of roof planes to achieve a geometrically complete and correct, and topologically consistent LoD-2 building reconstruction. Using UNet with the EfficientNet-B3 backbone, the developed approach starts with jointly predicting building sections and roof planes from the orthorectified RGB imagery and a photogrammetric DSM. The detected sections and planes are then vectorized by employing tree search and simplified with the Douglas Peucker algorithm. Subsequently, height values from the noisy input DSM and the vectorized …
