KODAMA: Multimodal Digital Twin Reconstruction for Urban RF Propagation Modelling

arXiv:2609.07298v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 3D reconstruction typically strives for geometric fidelity or visual plausibility. Radio frequency digital twins (RFDT) are instead judged by whether communication channels behave in them as they do in the real world. RFDTs promise site-specific channel prediction but current practice forces a choice between coarse automated scenes and hand-built, measurement-calibrated models that take weeks to construct per-site. We present KODAMA, an automated pipeline that reconstructs ray tracing-ready RFDTs at city scale from off-the-shelf geospatial data alone: aerial imagery, LiDAR, and photogrammetry yield terrain and watertight building meshes, while exposure-weighted multi-view fusion of street-level imagery recovers facade relief, electromagnetic materials, and clutter---all without site visits or calibration. Across three sites spanning 3.6 to 28 GHz, KODAMA's uncalibrated predictions achieve single-digit RMSE, reducing point-to-point error by up to 5.35 dB over automated baselines and coming within 0.22 dB of a measurement-calibrated, hand-built RFDT.
