The invention belongs to the technical field of three-dimensional modeling, and discloses a novel city three-dimensional modeling control system and method. The system comprises an image input unit, acamera calibration unit, a parallel moving and rotating data input unit, a digital elevation model input unit, a landscape model generation unit, a texture extraction unit, an architectural model generation unit, an architecture model storage unit, a model matching unit and a display unit. According to the system, by using the digital elevation model (DEM) and images acquired from an aerial vehicle and the ground, modeling of three-dimensional appearance of city architectures and three-dimensional landscape is achieved, and realistic textures are extracted from the images; three-dimensional architecture models can be generated by using the images taken from the air in vertical and inclined directions except for the DEM, textures of the related three-dimensional models can be extracted, the three-dimensional models generated by the images acquired from the ground can be simulated more accurately, or the textures with higher definition can be extracted.
