TOWARDS 3D SMART CAMPUS VIA 3D CITY MODELLING

Towards Unified 3d City Models

An increasing number of municipalities decide nowadays to build up 3D city models. Often the main purpose of such a model is to support urban planning processes. However, in most cases this support currently is restricted to the visualization of virtual scenes. The first reason is that there are still no commercial 3D geoinformation systems available. Thus, city models typically are implemented...

Towards Fully Automated 3D City Model Generation

Recent developments of efficient software systems have enabled an area covering generation of 3D city models. Still, there is a continuing need for an improvement of these systems to enable a further reduction of human interaction. Nevertheless, the development of new applications including the provision of effective tools for visualization and management of the collected 3D city models now bec...

Towards a 3D Sketch-Based Modelling API

Sketch-based applications are rapidly gaining popularity in 3D modelling because of the intuitive penand-paper metaphor. Even inexperienced users with little computer graphics and digital design background can use them to create 3D models rapidly. However, the development of sketch-based applications is usually difficult and time consuming. In this paper, we present a framework for simplifying ...

Towards Rapid 3d Modelling of Urban Areas

Modelling and simulation applications for operations in urban areas often set high resolution and fidelity requirements for the 3D environment models. For applications supporting ongoing operations, e.g decision support, mission planning, etc., additional requirements such as time frame and accessibility to the area of interest must also be taken into account in the modelling task. One possible...
