Rahman, A.A. (author), Hua, T.C. (author), Van Oosterom, P.J.M. (author)There is no doubt that the cadastral map provides a useful entrance to information in a land parcel based information system. However, such information system could be made more meaningful and useful if it can be extended for multiple usages with multi data layers, and in three-dimensions (3D). Currently, many national mapping and cadastral...conference paper 2011

Lesparre, J. (author), Gorte, B.G.H. (author)Aerial laser scan data is widely used to produce 2½D digital elevation models automatically. However, creating full 3D city models from this data is a complex task. A simplified 3D model, like a 2½D model with vertical walls will be easier to produce automatically, especially when the model is not produced to look nice, but just to give...conference paper 2012

Alam, N. (author), Coors, V. (author), Zlatanova, S. (author), Van Oosterom, P.J.M. (author)Due to global warming, green-house effect and various other drawbacks of existing energy sources, renewable energy like Photovoltaic system is being popular for energy production. The result of photovoltaic potentiality analysis depends on data quality and parameters. Shadow rapidly decreases performance of the Photovoltaic system and it always...conference paper 2012

Sirmacek, B. (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Menenti, M. (author)Fusion of 3D airborne laser (LIDAR) data and terrestrial optical imagery can be applied in 3D urban modeling and model up-dating. The most challenging aspect of the fusion procedure is registering the terrestrial optical images on the LIDAR point clouds. In this article, we propose an approach for registering these two different data from...conference paper 2013

Verbree, E. (author), De Vries, M.E. (author), Gorte, B.G.H. (author), Oude Elberink, S. (author), Karimiou, G. (author)Water run-off modelling applied within urban areas requires an appropriate detailed surface model represented by a raster height grid. Accurate simulations at this scale level have to take into account small but important water barriers and flow channels given by the large-scale map definitions of buildings, street infrastructure, and other...conference paper 2013

Biljecki, F. (author), Zhao, J. (author), Stoter, J.E. (author), Ledoux, H. (author)This review paper discusses the concept of level of detail in 3D city modelling, and is a first step towards a foundation for a standardised definition. As an introduction, a few level of detail specifications, outlooks and approaches are given from the industry. The paper analyses the general uncertainties and shortcomings around the concept of...conference paper 2013

Sirmacek, B. (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author)Low-cost sensor generated 3D models can be useful for quick 3D urban model updating, yet the quality of the models is questionable. In this article, we evaluate the reliability of an automatic point cloud generation method using multi-view iPhone images or an iPhone video file as an input. We register such automatically generated point cloud...journal article 2014

Biljecki, F. (author), Ledoux, H. (author), Stoter, J.E. (author), Zhao, J. (author)The level of detail in 3D city modelling, despite its usefulness and importance, is still an ambiguous and undefined term. It is used for the communication of how thoroughly real-world features have been acquired and modelled, as we demonstrate in this paper. Its definitions vary greatly between practitioners, standards and institutions. We...journal article 2014

Biljecki, F. (author), Ledoux, H. (author), Stoter, J. (author)This paper describes the analysis of the propagation of positional uncertainty in 3D city models to the uncertainty in the computation of their volumes. Current work related to error propagation in GIS is limited to 2D data and 2D GIS operations, especially of rasters. In this research we have (1) developed two engines, one that generates random...conference paper 2014

Mostafa, Mohamed (author)Nowadays, 3D Cadastres and 3D City Modeling is done for a number of applications. The precision of the final 3D products affects the use of it. High Precision 3D data acquisition can certainly support many precision applications such as 3D registration of right, restrictions and responsibilities. The state of the Art sensors and platforms used...conference paper 2014

Rönsdorf, Carsten (author), Wilson, Debbie (author), Stoter, Jantien (author)As our urban environments are densifying, it is essential to extend traditional cadastral systems that are based on two dimensional representation of ownership to support 3D. With the need to define property ownership in vertical as well as horizontal dimensions becoming pertinent around the world, a practical solution to represent 3D cadastral...conference paper 2014

Mulder, D.T. (author)In recent years, the concept of 3D city models has been gaining in importance as more 3D geometry of urban areas is becoming available. Although 3D City models offer a structured way of storing geometry, in practice a significant amount of geometry is not considered valid. This hinders the further analyzing or processing of these models. Since...master thesis 2015

Biljecki, F. (author), Stoter, J.E. (author), Ledoux, H. (author), Zlatanova, S. (author), Coltekin, A. (author)In the last decades, 3D city models appear to have been predominantly used for visualisation; however, today they are being increasingly employed in a number of domains and for a large range of tasks beyond visualisation. In this paper, we seek to understand and document the state of the art regarding the utilisation of 3D city models across...journal article 2015

Sirmacek, B. (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Wang, J. (author)3D urban models are valuable for urban map generation, environment monitoring, safety planning and educational purposes. For 3D measurement of urban structures, generally airborne laser scanning sensors or multi-view satellite images are used as a data source. However, close-range sensors (such as terrestrial laser scanners) and low cost cameras...journal article 2016

Rook, Merwin (author), Biljecki, F. (author), Diakite, A.A. (author)The lack of semantic information in many 3D city models is a considerable limiting factor in their use, as a lot of applications rely on semantics. Such information is not always available, since it is not collected at all times, it might be lost due to data transformation, or its lack may be caused by non-interoperability in data integration...conference paper 2016

(author), Soon, Kean Huat (author), Khoo, Victor (author)To be used as input in most simulation and modelling software, 3D city models should be geometrically and topologically valid, and semantically rich.

Biljecki, F. (author), Sindram, M. (author)Building datasets (e.g. footprints in OpenStreetMap and 3D city models) are becoming increasingly available worldwide. However, the thematic (attribute) aspect is not always given attention, as many of such datasets are lacking in completeness of attributes. A prominent attribute of buildings is the year of construction, which is useful for some...conference paper 2017

Biljecki, F. (author)The concept of level of detail (LOD) describes the content of 3D city models and it plays an essential role during their life cycle. On one hand it comes akin to the concepts of scale in cartography and LOD in computer graphics, on the other hand it is a standalone concept that requires attention. LOD has an influence on tendering and...doctoral thesis 2017
