The demand for three-dimensional city and landscape models is increasing steadily. For instance, they are used for production site analyses or simulations of natural hazards. Although in some use cases visual representation would be sufficient, however, there are numerous case studies that require considering the semantic aspect of the landscape model as well.
For this purpose, a pilot project was started at TUM in cooperation of the Land Vorarlberg and the company virtualcitySYSTEMS (VCS), aiming for the generation of a semantically evaluable three-dimensional digital landscape model.
3D-WebClient
Please click here to launch the 3D-WebClient for the pilot project “VoDLM3D” in your web browser (due to performance reasons, Google Chrome is recommended).
This demo contains all the generated thematic layers, such as buildings, streets, rivers, skiing lifts, power lines and much more. Additionally, each object is enriched with a variety of semantic information. This allows the visualisation of these data, as well as thematic queries and the interactive usage and evaluation of the semantic 3D landscape model.
