    • Challenges in Procedural Modeling of Buildings 

      Patow, Gustavo; Besuievsky, Gonzalo (The Eurographics Association, 2013)
      The use of procedural modeling for building generation has risen dramatically over the last years, being an elegant and fast way to generate huge, complex and realistically looking urban sites. However, due to its generative ...
    • Taking Advantage of Low Radiative Coupling in 3D Urban Models 

      Beckers, Benoit (The Eurographics Association, 2013)
      We examine different techniques able to enhance the efficiency of urban simulations. Condensation techniques like superelements - well known in the finite element community - are good candidates to improve the heat transfers ...
    • Dual-Domain Visual Exploration of Urban Solar Potential 

      Seipel, Stefan; Lingfors, David; Widén, Joakim (The Eurographics Association, 2013)
      Traditional methods for estimating the solar energy potential in buildings determine energy yields on an annual base and make use of highly aggregated geo-spatial data. This work proposes a method for detailed assessment ...
    • NightLighting: a Nocturnal Urban Illumination Approach 

      Muñoz-Pandiella, Imanol; Andújar, Carlos; Patow, Gustavo (The Eurographics Association, 2013)
      Real time rendering of cities with realistic global illumination is still an open problem. In this paper we propose a two-step algorithm to simulate the nocturnal illumination of a city. The first step computes an approximate ...
    • Toward Automated Façades Generation from Oblique Aerial Images 

      Vahl, Matthias; Lukas, Uwe von (The Eurographics Association, 2013)
      In this paper we introduce an approach for automatic recognition and description of building façades from oblique aerial images. This approach does not use street-side images, like Google StreetView, but aerial images to ...
    • Indoor Scene Reconstruction using Primitive-driven Space Partitioning and Graph-cut 

      Oesau, Sven; Lafarge, Florent; Alliez, Pierre (The Eurographics Association, 2013)
      We present a method for automatic reconstruction of permanent structures of indoor scenes, such as walls, floors and ceilings, from raw point clouds acquired by laser scanners. Our approach employs graph-cut to solve an ...
    • Online Reconstruction of Textured Triangle Meshes from Aerial Images 

      Vierjahn, Tom; Roters, Jan; Moser, Manuel; Hinrichs, Klaus; Mostafawy, Sina (The Eurographics Association, 2013)
      In this paper we present and evaluate a new online reconstruction algorithm to create a textured triangle mesh from a set of aerial images via an unorganized point cloud. Both the point cloud and the mesh are iteratively ...
