You'd need stereo fotos from a low flying plane for this. Several cities are doing this for decades already. I've built such a 3D map for my city like 25 years ago.


Are you referring to the outside seating polygons? Wouldn’t these stereo images still have a lot of noise (trees, cars, trucks, smaller non-building structures) obstructing the target areas?


Outer walls, but mostly roof lines.

Some noise, but since houses have a certain size and being mostly rectangular helps. Just carports and garden houses are special.
