Building height information has been more used in a variety of industries in recent years. This information can be used in sustainable urban planning, urban climate research, population estimation, and three-dimensional (3D) building reconstruction, etc. Nowadays, building height information is obtained mostly by photogrammetry, high-resolution...

Tree Reconstruction from a Point Cloud using an L-system

Storing accurate models of complex geometries in a compact way has become an increasingly challenging issue, especially when dealing with large datasets. One of such datasets is Cobra-Groeninzicht's database of all trees in the Netherlands. In the gaming industry, a new technique is being used to generate tree models: the L-system. An L-system...
