Virtual 3D City Models as Foundation of Complex Urban Information Spaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Virtual 3D city models represent spatial and geo-referenced urban data by means of 3D geovirtual environments that basically include terrain models, building models, vegetation models as well as models of roads and transportation systems. In general, these models serve to present, explore, analyze, and manage urban data. As a characteristic element, virtual 3D city models allow for visually integrating heterogeneous geoinformation within a single framework and, therefore, create and manage complex urban information spaces.

Expressive Virtual 3d City Models
Virtual 3D city models include components such as 3D building models, transportation network models, and vegetation models. Traditional applications of virtual 3D city models focus on presenting photorealistic views. The potential of 3D city models, however, goes beyond virtual reality. In general, virtual 3D city models can serve as user interfaces to complex, spatial urban information, that i...
متن کاملA Preliminary Review on 3-dimensional City Model
Modern city system has increasingly become more complex in spatial context, with impressive 3-dimensional features shown on its skyline, such as high-rise buildings, road flyovers, tunnels and underground infrastructure. Focusing on such complex system, Urban GIS, traditionally only concerns about 2-dimensional spatial relationships, has now pushed to analyse, model and manage the 3-dimensional...
متن کاملService-Oriented Visualization of Virtual 3D City Models
Virtual 3D City Models Virtual 3D city models [1] provide means to communicate complex 2D and 3D geographical and geospatial data in an effective way (Fig. 2). Visualization systems that are based on 3D geovirtual environments (3D GeoVEs) serve as enabling technology in GIS and for manifold fields of application, e.g., as platform for presentation and communication of geodata (e.g., city market...
متن کاملIntegrating Legal and Physical Dimensions of Urban Environments
Building Information Models (e.g., IFC) and virtual 3D city models (e.g., CityGML) are revolutionising the way we manage information about our cities. However, the main focus of these models is on the physical and functional characteristics of urban properties and facilities, which neglects the legal and ownership aspects. In contrast, cadastral data models, such as the Land Administration Doma...
متن کاملReal-Time Visualization of big 3D City Models
Virtual Reality based geographic information systems (VRGIS) are successfully employed today for real-time visualization in such diverse fields as urban planning, city planning, and architectural design. Today a VRGIS based software solution has to facilitate the interactive visualization of highresolution 3D terrain data over interand intranet. Due to advanced software technology and innovativ...
