Aerial images are widely used for building detection. However, the performance of building detection methods based on aerial images alone is typically poorer than that of building detection methods using both LiDAR and image data. To overcome these limitations, we present a framework for detecting and regularizing the boundary of individual buildings using a feature-level-fusion strategy based on features from dense image matching (DIM) point clouds, orthophoto and original aerial images. The proposed framework is divided into three stages. In the first stage, the features from the original aerial image and DIM points are fused to detect buildings and obtain the so-called blob of an individual building. Then, a feature-level fusion strategy is applied to match the straight-line segments from original aerial images so that the matched straight-line segment can be used in the later stage. Finally, a new footprint generation algorithm is proposed to generate the building footprint by combining the matched straight-line segments and the boundary of the blob of the individual building. The performance of our framework is evaluated on a vertical aerial image dataset (Vaihingen) and two oblique aerial image datasets (Potsdam and Lunen). The experimental results reveal 89% to 96% per-area completeness with accuracy above almost 93%. Relative to six existing methods, our proposed method not only is more robust but also can obtain a similar performance to the methods based on LiDAR and images.
