Indexed description

The Institute of Remote Sensing Methodology is a DLR institute with sites in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich, Berlin-Adlershof and Neustrelitz in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Together with the German Remote Sensing Data Centre, the Institute forms the Earth Observation Centre (EOC), Germany’s centre of excellence for Earth observation.

What To Expect

This research proposes a diffusion-based generative framework for reconstructing building roof planes directly from very high–resolution (VHR) true-ortho aerial imagery. Inspired by the architectural layout synthesis paradigm of HouseDiffusion, the model instead predicts structured roof-plane configurations by conditioning the diffusion process on both image features and graph-based spatial relationships between neighboring roof elements. A roof adjacency graph encodes geometric and topological constraints (e.g., shared ridges, plane orientation continuity), enabling the model to incorporate contextual structural priors during generation. The diffusion process iteratively refines candidate roof plane representations while respecting these relational constraints. This formulation enables structured roof reconstruction from purely 2D observations without explicit 3D supervision, bridging generative modeling with geometric reasoning in remote sensing.

your task
