Data Visualization Within Urban Models
Overview Models of urban environments have many uses for town planning, pre-visualization of new building work and utility service planning. Many of these models are three-dimensional, and increasingly there is a move towards real-time presentation of such large models. This paper presents an algorithm for generating consistent 3D models from a combination of data sources, including Ordnance Survey ground plans, aerial photography and laser height data. Although there have been several demonstrations of automatic generation of building models from 2D vector map data, this paper presents a very robust solution that generates models that are suitable for real-time presentation. The paper then demonstrates a novel pollution visualization that uses these models.
