Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods of generating a complete and accurate geometrically optimized environment. Stereo pair images depicting an environment are selected from a plurality of images to generate a Digital Surface Model (DSM). Characteristics of objects in the environment are determined and identified. The geometry of the objects may be determined and fit with polygons and textured facades. By determining the objects, the geometry, and the material from original satellite imagery and from a DSM created from the matching stereo pair point clouds, a complete and accurate geometrically optimized environment is created.
