Procedural modelling is an attractive alternative to cut down the costs of manual content creation for virtual worlds. We discuss our declarative modelling approach to the creation of 3D virtual worlds, which integrates a variety of procedural techniques in order to enable a non-specialist user to interactively create a complete 3D virtual world in minutes. In particular, we introduce procedura...

Simulation of haemodynamics has become increasingly popular within the research community. Irrespective of the modelling approach (zero-dimensional (0D), one-dimensional (1D) or three-dimensional (3D)), in vivo measurements are required to personalize the arterial geometry, material properties and boundary conditions of the computational model. Limitations in in vivo data acquisition often resu...

3D building reconstruction from remote sensing image data from satellites is still an active research topic and very valuable for 3D city modelling. The roof model is the most important component to reconstruct the Level of Details 2 (LoD2) for a building in 3D modelling. While the general solution for roof modelling relies on the detailed cues (such as lines, corners and planes) extracted from...

This paper describes a system which automatically derives 3D models of architectural scenes from multiple images. This system differs from previous structure from motion algorithms in that it explicitly makes use of strong geometric constraints such as perpendicularity and verticality which are likely to be found in architecture. Structure is compactly represented as a piecewise planar model wh...

This paper presents a new method for producing a structural plant static model that simulates the details of the structure of individual plants, yet does not require detailed knowledge of underlying physiology. The example presented with this method in this study is the modelling of the tomato plant. This new structural modelling approach is based on linking a resulting simulation system repres...

This paper describes a 3D scene analysis system that is capable of modelling real-world scenes, based on data acquired by a Laser Range Finder on board of a mobile robot. Laser range images directly provide access to three dimensional information, as opposed to intensity images. This characteristic makes range data suited to build 3D models of objects, and in general real world scenes. Results ...

This paper describes an experimental augmented reality based system for overlaying computer generated information on the real world. Museum artefacts are digitised; 3D models are then created and rendered in an augmented reality environment providing the opportunity for museum visitors to visualise virtual artefacts in the context of real artefacts and other contextual information. Viewing 3D m...

An interactive 3D visualisation system 3DCAMS (3D Camera Modeller and Simulator) has been developed within the DARPA Image Understanding Environment (IUE). The system supports interactive visualisation of 3D models represented as IUE spatial objects. It provides the user a range of choices for camera modelling including abstract modelling, as well as physical camera simulation. The system suppo...
