In order to realize 3D modeling and refinement of buildings in a digital 2D residential map using range images of the streets, we match range images of streets with the digital map. After pattern lines of the range images are determined using edge detection and depth analysis, they are matched with pattern lines of the digital map using a pattern matching algorithm based on dynamic programming....
