Developing a Framework for the Automatic Generation and Visualisation Of 3D Urban Areas on Mobile Devices

چکیده
Rapid procedural 3D urban modelling has been a constant research issue for a number of years now. We present a complete procedural 3D modelling solution for mobile device usage of the content, called Virtual City Maker, based on scripting algorithms allowing for both the automatic and also semi-automatic creation of photorealistic quality virtual urban content. The content produced can be specially optimized for use with mobile devices but also with navigational tasks in mind. Moreover, a user-centred mobile virtual reality (VR) visualisation and interaction tool operating on PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) for pedestrian navigation is also discussed supporting the import and display of various navigational file formats equipped with a comprehensive front-end userfriendly graphical user interface providing immersive virtual 3D navigation to a wide range of users.

متن کامل3D Building Generalisation
The article presents a novel approach for the automatic generalisation of 3D building models with regard to the cartographic visualisation of urban landscapes. Building objects are geometrically simplified for the purpose of levels of detail generation to speed up rendering and to improve the perceptibility on small displays commonly found in mobile devices. Generalisation is realised in a proc...
متن کاملProcedural Modeling as an Analytical Tool for 3D Survey in Urban Design Assessment
This paper examines procedural modeling as a tool for 3D modeling creation. Procedural modeling historically has been used for 3D visualization of natural features, but with the release of the software CityEngine in 2008, the technology can easily be adopted also in problem domains dealing with urban environments. Then, we will examine and compare two types of modeling, traditional and proc...
