The method presented in this paper is a major step towards a 
fully automatic system for texturing existing 3D building 
models. The terrestrial images are automatically corrected and 
merged into rectified façade textures. Special attention has been 
paid to occlusion management, and most occluding objects are 
removed from the final textures. The results show the feasibility 
of a fully automatic approach based on vehicle-based data. The 
resulting textured 3D models are realistic and can be navigated 
from the street level. In the future, the image merging stage will 
be improved, especially the inpainting technique. Importantly, a 
method for automatically registering the façade textures to the 
façade model is necessary in order to propose a robust and fully 
automated texturing system.
