ABSTRACT: The growing demand for current and precise geographic information that pertains to urban areas has given rise to a significant interest in digital surface models that exhibit a high level of detail. Traditional methods for creating digital surface models are insufficient to reflect the details of earth’s features. These models only represent three-dimensional objects in a single texture and fail to offer a realistic depiction of the real world. Furthermore, the need for current and precise geographic information regarding urban areas has been increasing significantly. This study proposes a new technique to address this problem, which involves integrating remote sensing, Geographic InformationSystems (GIS), and Architecture Environment software environments to generate a detailed three-dimensional model. The processing of this study startswith:1) Downloading high-resolution satellite imagery;2) Collecting ground truth datasets from fieldwork;3) Imagingnose removing;4) Generating a Two-dimensional Model to createa digital surface model in GIS using the extracted building outlines;5) Converting the model into multi-patch layers to construct a 3D model for each object separately. The results show that the 3D model obtained through this method is highly detailed and effective for various applications, including environmental studies, urban development, expansion planning, and shape understanding tasks.
