Abstract
In this paper we address the problem of removing unwanted image content in a single orthographic facade image. We exploit the regular structure present in building facades and introduce propagation process that is guided by the symmetry prevalent in the image. It removes larger unwanted image objects such as traffic lights, street signs, or cables as well as smaller noise, such as reflections in the windows. The output is intended as source for textures in  urban reconstruction projects.
