Using 3d Models for Visualizing ‘the City as It Might Be’
نویسنده
چکیده
In Australia, many large cities suffered the loss of important buildings during the building boom of the 1960s. During this time of demolition and re-building the ‘face’ of major cities changed forever. This period of savage removal of heritage and significant buildings has been the subject of much interest and debate till this day. There exists the need to provide virtual models of Australian cities ‘how they might be’ if these buildings remained in place still. This paper describes the first stages of a project that is building a composite 3D model using VRML that combines existing heritage buildings with the ‘missing’ buildings of the city – those that were removed in the heady development days of the 1960s. It outlines the concept of the project and it describes the development of a ‘proof-of-concept’ prototype. Finally it discusses the plans for the future of the project.

Data mining for decision making in engineering optimal design
Often in modeling the engineering optimization design problems, the value of objective function(s) is not clearly defined in terms of design variables. Instead it is obtained by some numerical analysis such as FE structural analysis, fluid mechanic analysis, and thermodynamic analysis, etc. Yet, the numerical analyses are considerably time consuming to obtain the final value of objective functi...

When creating 3D city models, selecting relevant visualization techniques is a particularly difficult user interface design task. A first obstacle is that current geodata-oriented tools, e.g. ArcGIS, have limited 3D capabilities and limited sets of visualization techniques. Another important obstacle is the lack of unified description of information visualization techniques for 3D city models. ...

Representing 3D models in diverse fields have automatically paved the way of storing, indexing, classifying, and retrieving 3D objects. Classification and retrieval of 3D models demand that the 3D models represent in a way to capture the local and global shape specifications of the object. This requires establishing a 3D descriptor or signature that summarizes the pivotal shape properties of th...

Geographical Information Systems (GISs) can be seen as a common tool to map and visualize the air quality index based on geographical locations. However, in urban areas, the area resolution for air quality models is less than 2 kilometres. Since the main emissions agent in urban areas is predominantly vehicular engines, the situation will become worse when pollutants are trapped between buildin...
