We apply this concept to architectural designs. As the sketch is being drawn, our system periodically interprets its 2.5D geometry by identifying new junctions, edges, and faces, and then analyzing the extracted topology. The user can add detailed geometry and textures through sketches as well. This is possible using databases that match partial sketches to models of detailed geometry and textures. The ¯nal product is a realistic texture-mapped 2.5D model of the building. We show a variety of buildings that have been created using this system.\u003Cbr>Categories and Subject Descriptors: J.6.0 [Computer-Aided Engineering]: Computer-aided design (CAD); I.2.10 [Artificial Intelligence]: Vision and Scene Understanding\u003Cbr>General Terms: Algorithms, Experimentation, Measurement\u003Cbr>Additional Key Words and Phrases: Sketching, realistic imagery, shape |\n| --- |\n| 1. INTRODUCTION\u003Cbr>Achieving realism is one of the major goals of computer graphics, and many approaches, ranging from physics-based modeling of light and geometry to image-based rendering have been proposed. Realistic imagery has revolutionized the design process, allowing for the presentation and exploration of unbuilt scenes.\u003Cbr>Unfortunately, creating new content for realistic rendering remains tedious and time consuming. The problem is exacerbated when the content is being designed. 3D modeling systems are cumbersome to use and therefore ill-suited |\n\n*This work was done when Xuejin Chen was visiting at Microsoft Research Asia.  \nAuthors' addresses: X.
