3D Visual Urban Simulation: Methods and Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
Computer advances in recent decades have contributed to the emergence of three dimensional (3D) urban simulation, which studies urban environments based on virtual models of physical reality. This article discusses methods of 3D urban simulation for urban planning and design in order to understand their potential, capabilities, limitations and concerns about the validity of simulation outcome. It also reviews the use of 3D urban simulation in many application categories including public participation, visual impact analysis, development control, dispute resolution and historic preservation. The authors observe dilemmas and suggest directions for better integration of 3D urban simulation into the planning practice.

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...
متن کاملEnclosed Five-Wall Immersive Cabin
We present a novel custom-built 3D immersive environment, called the Immersive Cabin (IC). The IC is fully enclosed with an automatic door on the rear screen, and thus very different from existing CAVE environments. Our IC, the construction of the projection screens and stereo projectors as well as the calibration procedure are explained in details. The projectors are driven by our Visual Compu...

Abstr act: Visual Information Systems for urban planning can be produced in a variety of ways. In this paper we give an account of research into integrating scanned data with urban data sets to produce 3D applications that span built environment spatial scales from building elements to the whole city. In our research, 3D laser scanner is used to capture 3D building models as a way of developing...
متن کاملCombining Lidar, Insar, Sar and Sar-simulation for Change Detection Applications in Cloud-prone Urban Areas
Cloud-prone urban environments are very difficult areas for remote sensing using traditional sensors operating with short wavelength signals in the visible or infrared domains. Due to their all-weather capability, SAR systems are a suitable alternative for time-critical change-detection applications in these areas. However, the inherent side-looking sensor principle of SAR is disadvantageous fo...
