Footprint decomposition combined with point cloud segmentation for producing valid 3D models

For the creation of three-dimensional (3D) city models, extrusion of building footprints is widely applied. Extrusion results in block shaped buildings. The main problem with these 3D models is that they do not represent height differences within a building. This thesis presents a method to improve building footprints by subdivision into parts...

Automatic segmentation and classification of movement trajectories for transportation modes

Automatic segmentation and classification of movement trajectories for transportation modes

The knowledge of the transportation mode used in a movement trajectory (derived in form of timestamped positions) is critical for applications such as travel behaviour studies. This thesis presents a method for segmenting movement data into single-mode segments and their classification with respect to the used transportation mode. The method...
