Creating photorealistic building models from large-scale airborne point clouds is an important aspect of urban modeling. Given the complexity of airborne points (i.e., noise, outliers, occlusions, and irregularities) and diversified architectures in the real world, the problems associated with the creation of photorealistic building models pose great challenges, but these problems are not comprehensively addressed by most of the state-of-the-art methods. In this research, intelligent algorithms are developed to create large-scale LoD3 building models with accurate geometry, correct topology, and abundant semantics. The developed algorithms can enhance the abstraction/representation of building point clouds. First, from the perspective of building model mechanism, modeling algorithms are divided into five categories, each of which is reviewed and analyzed in depth. Then, the common problems are determined, and their possible solutions are given accordingly. Finally, the possible directions of future building reconstruction are predicted on the basis of airborne point clouds. We aim to provide beneficial inspiration and relevant references to enhance building modeling theories, develop more intelligent modeling algorithms, and create high-quality building models.
