We present an algorithm for realtime rendering of large-scale city models with procedurally generated facades. By using highly detailed assets like windows, doors, and decoration such city models can provide an extremely high geometric level of detail but on the downside they also consist of billions of polygons which makes it infeasible to even store them as explicit polygonal meshes. Moreover...

In this paper we report on a system to extract 3D information from oriented digital facade images using various feature extraction/matching methods. We emphasize on 2D feature extraction from digital images including contour chains, line segments and vanishing points. The extraction of 3D primitives is based on line matching over multiple oriented views and 3D plane detection by a line grouping...

In this paper, we describe a novel technique to identify and extract windows from a building’s frontal facade. Feature detection in buildings has long been an area of research interest for its applications in 3D city modeling and scene visualization. We utilize a combination of projection profiles, mutual information, and a feature extraction technique (Snake Algorithm). We have found this appr...

3d city models are used in a huge number of applications today. They are applicable in the area of urban planning and city development, tourism and marketing and as well for navigation. All these applications need a 3d city model of a large area. And in these days the desire for actuality and a high degree of details is rising. Due to this the modelling of buildings as block models as before is...

In this paper we present a practical approach for generating an occlusion-free textured 3D map of urban facades by the synergistic use of terrestrial images, 3D point clouds and area-based information. Particularly in dense urban environments, the high presence of urban objects in front of the facades causes significant difficulties for several stages in computational building modeling. Major c...

There is a great deal of interest in constructing Double Skin Facade (DSF) structures which are considered as modern movement in field of Energy Conservation, renewable energies, and Architecture design. This trend provides many conclusive alternatives which are frequently associated with sustainable building. In this paper a building with Double Skin Facade is considered in the semiarid climat...

This study aims to produce renewable energy by applying a solar-energy-harvesting architectural design using solar panels on the facade of building. To install as many possible building elevation, Signal Box auf dem Wolf, located in Basel, Switzerland, was selected research target. The be installed Wolf are planned such that they able move according optimal tilt angle every month allow maximal ...

Automatically‐operated dynamic facades can play an important role in reducing building energy consumption while maintaining high levels of indoor environmental quality. Facade automation, however, has a controversial reputation due to concerns about increased risks for occupant distraction and discomfort. This paper explores and quantifies the influence of automated facade operation on user sat...
