Claim One:
1. A modeling system, comprising: a procedural model configured to receive an approximate three-dimensional (3D) model generated from one or more aerial images of an architectural structure and generate a 3D reconstruction model from one or more ground-level images of the architectural structure; and a processor configured to generate a remodeled image associated with the architectural structure as a function of a set of contain rules that defines a hierarchical relationship for a set of structure elements contained in a region of the architectural structure, a set of shape grammar rules determined based on structural information associated with the approximate 3D model and at least one different approximate 3D model, textural information associated with the approximate 3D model and different textural information associated with the 3D reconstruction model, wherein the textural information and the different textural information are synthesized with the set of shape grammar rules to generate the remodeled image, wherein a structure element from the set of structure elements is associated with the region of the architectural structure and a position with respect to one or more other structure elements related to the region, wherein the region and the position are defined by the set of contain rules, wherein the structure element is extracted from an automated bottom-up and top-down analysis of the one or more aerial images and the one or more ground-level images, and wherein descending structure elements in the hierarchical relationship with respect to the structure element are subdivided without a set of split grammar rules.
