Automatic Semantic-preserving Conversion Between OBJ and CityGML
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the automatic conversion between two substantially different formats used in 3D city models: the ubiquitous but semantically poor Wavefront OBJ and the semantically rich but less used OGC standard CityGML. We elaborate on their differences and on the challenges involved in their conversion, such as the inference of semantics in an OBJ file for their use in CityGML, and the storage of these semantics back in OBJ. We implement two software prototypes: a conversion of 3D building models from CityGML to OBJ (CityGML2OBJs), and one from OBJ to CityGML (OBJ2CityGML). By presenting both methods and implementations, we aim at increasing the availability of CityGML datasets and the possibility to create them in powerful 3D modelling software.

An Evaluation of IFC-CityGML Unidirectional Conversion
Interoperability between building information models (BIM) and geographic information models has a strong potential to bring benefit to different demands in construction analysis, urban planning, homeland security and other applications. Therefore, different research and commercial efforts have been initiated to integrate the most prominent semantic models in BIM and geospatial applications. Th...
متن کاملSemantic Mapping: an Ontology Engineering Method for Integrating Building Models in Ifc and Citygml
One of the main problems facing 3D city modelling applications is lack of interoperability among various Building Information Models (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) models. CityGML (representing a wide range of 3D urban objects) and IFC (representing a very detailed semantic model for buildings) are considered the most prominent semantic models in GIS and BIM, respectively, today...
متن کاملAutomatic conversion of IFC datasets to geometrically and semantically correct CityGML LOD3 buildings
Although the international standard CityGML has five levels of detail (LODs), the vast majority of available models are the coarse ones (up to LOD2, ie block-shaped buildings with roofs). LOD3 and LOD4 models, which contain architectural details such as balconies, windows and rooms, nearly exist because, unlike coarser LODs, their construction requires several datasets that must be acquired wit...

During the recent years, the need arises for indoor navigation systems for guidance of a client in natural hazards and fire, due to the fact that human settlements have been complicating. This research paper aims to design and implement a visual indoor navigation web application. The designed system processes CityGML data model automatically and then, extracts semantic, topologic and geometric...
متن کاملAutomatic Derivation of Different Levels of Detail for 3d Buildings Modeled by Citygml
The new OGC standard CityGML defines a standard for ontology of buildings at four different Levels of Detail (LoDs). The building models at different LoDs differ in the complexity and granularity of the geometric representation and the thematic structuring of the models into components with a special semantic meaning. In line with the definition of LoDs this paper addresses the process of autom...
