AVENUE: Automated Site Modeling in Urban Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is an overview of the AVENUE project at Columbia University. AVENUE's main goal is to automate the site modeling process in urban environments. The rst component of AVENUE is a 3-D modeling system which constructs complete 3-D geometric models with photometric texture mapping acquired from di erent viewpoints. The second component is a planning system that plans the Next-BestView for acquiring a model of the site. The third component is a mobile robot we have built that contains an integrated sensor suite for automatically performing the site modeling task. We present results for modeling buildings in New York City.

متن کاملAutomated 3d Modeling of Urban Environments
The photorealistic modeling of large-scale scenes, such as urban structures, requires a fusion of range sensing technology and traditional digital photography. This paper summarizes the contributions of our group in that area. We present a system that integrates automated 3D-to-3D and 2D-to-3D registration techniques, with multiview geometry for the photorealistic modeling of urban scenes. The ...

There is abundant literature regarding virtual reality as a technology of interest in the present age. However, there are few comprehensive studies on strategies that can improve the level of urban design research using this technique. To investigate the issue, this paper first reviews the concept of virtual reality. Next, the opinions of experts in the field of virtual reality technology are s...
متن کاملAN Improved UTD Based Model For The Multiple Building Diffraction Of Plane Waves In Urban Environments By Using Higher Order Diffraction Coeficients
This paper describes an improved model for multiple building diffraction modeling based on the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD). A well-known problem in conventional uniform theory of diffraction (CUTD) is multiple-edge transition zone diffraction. Here, higher order diffracted fields are used in order to improve the result; hence, we use higher order diffraction coefficients to improve a hy...
متن کاملTopBot: automated network topology detection with a mobile robot
We have demonstrated that a properlyequipped mobile robot can easily construct a detailed map of the wireless coverage of an urban environment. The Autonomous Vehicle for Exploration and Navigation of Urban Environments (AVENUE) mobile robot was successfully used to generate such maps in both manual and autonomous modes of operation. The resulting database contained a wealth of information for ...
