Real-Time Urban Visualization: Virtual London Case Study
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a case-study of building a real-time urban visualisation for the Greater London area. The model that we have created integrates a variety of high quality mapping resources, but emphasises real-time access to the whole model. The model is extensive (a roughly circular area of 60km diameter), and densely populated with polygon detail down to side-walks and aerial photography in limited areas at 10cm. The combined authoring & run-time system calculates image imposters, and dynamically caches these, and switches in geometry to maintain an interactive frame-rate.

Web-based Interactive Visualization of Uncertain Concepts in Urban Ontologies
In urban ontology studies, there exist different semantic definitions of exurbanization. Uncertainty from these conceptual definitions can be represented, compared, and negotiated by using graphical representation in software interface, also with the corresponding empirical spatial data can be geovisualized interactively. We develop web-based software to aid visualization and negotiation betwee...
متن کاملTowards Real-Time Interactive Visualisation in Virtual Environments: A Case Study of Q-SPACE
Virtual Environments present opportunities for novel interaction with and visualization of abstract data. However, the inherent difficulties of rendering three dimensional environments, as well as bottlenecks in traditional virtual reality systems make real-time manipulation of realistic volumes of data difficult. We present an architectural solution that addresses many of these problems, and Q...
