Numerous types of solid structures protect coastal activities and cities from the damaging effects of tides and waves all around the globe. Thus, having a three-dimensional digital representation of the physical environment would help decision-makers in understanding the dynamic nature of coastal environments and implementing effective mitigation strategies. Generally speaking, Feature matching, Structure from Motion (SFM) and Multi-View Stereo (MVS) algorithms are used in this order to achieve realistic results. The Literature shows that there is a constant evolution of new techniques and technologies either with learning based or hand-crafted approach, which gives a possibility to integrate different method to optimize each step of the three-dimensional reconstruction process. The aim of this paper is to present the progress of three-dimensional modelling methods that use ground-level images by providing an overview of the latest applications and a comparison of their results. Overall, the state-of-the-art in three-dimensional building modelling using ground-level imagery is rapidly evolving, and new ways are being developed to improve the efficiency, accuracy and scalability of the process
