Exploring Isovist Applications in Third-Person View Visualisations of Outdoor Space Boundaries Using Point Clouds

The kinds of physical spaces present in the real world are becoming ever more complex, and the locations defining the boundaries between these spaces are often arbitrary. Distinguishing between which spaces count as `outdoors,' and which count as `indoors,' becomes more difficult when `semi-outdoor' and `semi-indoor' spaces are considered....

3D Representations for Visual Insight

As a method that can accurately represent 3D spatial information, point cloud visualisation for indoor environments is still a relatively unexplored field of research. Our client for this project, the Dutch National Police, requested a variety of potential solutions for visualising (unfamiliar) indoor environments that can be viewed by both...

Game Engine-based Point Cloud Visualization and Perception for Situation Awareness of Crisis Indoor Environments

Because unknown interior layouts can have serious consequences in time-sensitive situations, crisis response teams request many potential solutions for visualizing indoor environments in crisis scenarios. This research uses a game engine to directly visualize point cloud data input of indoor environments for generating clear interaction between...
