Urban areas are facing a growing deployment of solar technologies on the built exposed surfaces such as roofs and façades. This transformation often occurs without consideration of the needed architectural quality, which ...

Starting from GIS data, which are sampled and often inaccurate, this paper presents a method to reconstruct urban road surfaces respecting important geometric constraints selected from civil engineering. We propose a ...

We present a city reconstruction and visualization framework that integrates geometric models reconstructed with a range of different techniques. The framework generates the vast majority of buildings procedurally, which ...

The FLOOD AR project originates from an explicitly expressed need for digital 3D temporal georeferenced models that can be largely diffused among riverside residents through computers and mobile devices, in order to support ...

To understand the complexity of modern cities and anticipate their expansion, experts from various fields conceive simulation models that can be very different. Those simulation models work with a variety of data with their ...

3D point clouds describe urban shape at different scales, precisions and resolutions depending on the underlying sensors and acquisition methodology. These factors influence the quality of the data, as well as its ...

Cities must develop ''Smart'' management and planning strategies to mitigate the challenges caused by urban population growth. The SmartPop project proposes a LULC model and dasymetric population density maps to Walloon ...

3D cities reconstruction and visualisation have always been a challenging area. Many software have been developed for constructing, editing and visualising 3D virtual cities. These software that allow the semi-automatic ...

Configuring the optimal shape and position of a building opening, such as windows or skylights, is a crucial task for daylight availability. Computing daylighting requires the use of climate-based data, which involves large ...
