New Techniques and Methods for Modelling, Visualization, and Analysis of a 3D City

The recent years observe the vast development in new techniques and methods for modelling, visualization, and analysis of 3D digital cities, as the need of digital twins of urban environment in different applications and simulations has been increased dramatically. This special issue attempts to give an overview of the recent progress and...

Point Cloud Based Visibility Analysis: first experimental results

Visibility computed from a LiDAR point cloud offers several advantages compared to using a gridded digital height-model. With a higher resolution and detailed information, point cloud data can provide precise analysis as well as an opportunity to avoid the process of generating a surface representation or a solid model. Also a better inclusion...
