Interactive modelling tools for 3D building reconstruction

Fully automatic reconstruction of 3D city models is a topic of current research, while semi-automatic approaches are already applied for the acquisition of large databases. Examples for application areas are visualizations for architectural evaluation, town planning and city information systems as well as simulations for city climate, environmental evaluations and wave propagation. This paper r...

Sampled 3D models for Cultural Heritage: which uses beyond visualization?

Digital technologies are now mature for producing high quality digital replicas of Cultural Heritage (CH) artefacts. The research results produced in the last decade have shown an impressive evolution and consolidation of the technologies for acquiring high-quality digital 3D models (3D scanning) and for rendering those models at interactive speed. Technology is now mature enough to push us to ...

Surface Detail Mapping in 3D Modelling

Polygon-based texture mapping for cyber city 3D building models

Three-dimensional building model is one of the most important components in a cyber city implementation. Currently, however, most building models do not have sufficient and accurate texture information. The lack of texture not only makes 3D building models less realistic in visualization, it may also fail to provide needed information in intricate applications. This study developed a polygon-ba...
