The advantages of this method are (1) The camera calibration 
was divided into two steps, this can obviously reduce the 
relativity among the orientation parameters. (2) During solving 
interior orientation parameters and rotation R, computational 
process is linear, without any iteration and initiated values. (3) 
The method makes full use of linear features and 
constrains(coplanar, parallel, vertical).It is robust and stable due 
to its strong geometric and mathematical relations. The newest 
trend to 3D reconstruction of building models consists of 
exploiting information other than images to support the analysis; 
for example fusing images with scanned, or digital maps. The 
information about the ground plans of the building available in 
the GIS map is used to define parametric building models.
