Abstract:
A method and device for determining a footprint of a 3D structure are disclosed. The method includes: receiving mesh data for the 3D structure that includes vertices and edges that form polygons of the 3D structure; determining a connection graph including candidate nodes and candidate lines by (i) identifying all edges having a vertex that is less than threshold height value, and (ii) mapping the identified edges and vertices thereof onto a 2D plane; determining an adjacency list that indicates, for each candidate node, which other candidate nodes are connected to the candidate node by a candidate line; and generating a footprint of the 3D structure based on the connection graph and the adjacency list, the footprint including vertices corresponding to a selection of the candidate nodes and including edges corresponding to a selection of the candidate lines.

Claim (Index 6):
The method according to  claim 1 , the generating of the footprint of the at least one 3D structure further comprising:\n selecting a starting candidate node from the plurality of candidate nodes; and sequentially selecting a first sequence of candidate nodes from the plurality of candidate nodes, a first candidate node in the first sequence of candidate nodes being connected to the starting candidate node, each candidate node other than first candidate node in the first sequence of candidate nodes being connected to a previous respective candidate node in the first sequence of candidate nodes, wherein the selected group of candidate nodes comprises a second sequence of candidate nodes formed by the selected starting candidate node with the selected first sequence of candidate nodes, and wherein the selected group of candidate lines comprises a first sequence of candidate lines in the plurality of candidate lines that sequentially connect the second sequence of candidate nodes.
