Abstract
Urban models are key to navigation, architecture and entertainment. Apart from visualizing façades, a number of tedious tasks remain largely manual (e.g. compression, generating new façade designs and structurally comparing façades for classification, retrieval and clustering). We propose a novel procedural modelling method to au-tomatically learn a grammar from a set of façades, gener-ate new façade instances and compare façades. To deal with the difficulty of grammatical inference, we reformu-late the problem. Instead of inferring a compromising, one-size-fits-all, single grammar for all tasks, we infer a model whose successive refinements are production rules tailored for each task. We demonstrate our automatic rule inference on datasets of two different architectural styles. Our method supercedes manual expert work and cuts the time required to build a procedural model of a façade from several days to a few milliseconds. 1.
