| Abstract: | Highlights: What are the main findings? This study developed a two-stage polygon decomposition and adaptive roof fitting method for automatic 3D building model reconstruction. By integrating polygon decomposition with adaptive roof parameter modeling, the proposed approach effectively decomposed building footprints and achieved accu-rate reconstruction of both flat roofs and common non-flat roof types. What are the implications of the main findings? The developed approach is capable of reliably reconstructing buildings with complex connection structures and produces 3D building models with high geometric accu-racy and a high degree of standardization. The two-stage polygon decomposition and adaptive roof fitting framework demon-strates strong potential to handle footprints with intricate connectivity and to model buildings with complex flat roofs. Digital surface models (DSMs) derived from high-resolution satellite imagery often contain mismatches, voids, and coarse building geometry, limiting their suitability for accurate and standardized 3D reconstruction. The scarcity of finely annotated samples further constrains generalization to complex structures. To address these challenges, an automated building reconstruction method based on two-stage polygon decomposition and adaptive roof fitting is proposed. Building polygons are first extracted and standardized to preserve primary contours while improving geometric regularity. A two-stage decomposition is then applied. In the first stage, polygons are coarsely decomposed, and redundant rectangles are removed by analyzing containment relationships. In the second stage, non-flat regions are identified and further decomposed to accommodate complex building connections. For 3D model fitting, flat-roof buildings are reconstructed by integrating structural analysis of DSM elevation distributions with adaptive rooftop partitioning, which enables accurate modeling of complex flat structures with auxiliary components. For non-flat roofs, a representative parameter space is defined and explored through systematic search and optimization to obtain precise fits. Finally, intersecting primitives are normalized and optimally merged to ensure structural coherence and standardized representation. Experiments on the US3D, MVS3D, and Beijing-3 datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves higher geometric accuracy and more standardized models, with an average IOU3 of 91.26%, RMSE of 0.78 m, and MHE of 0.22 m.
