Urban spaces consist of a complex collection of buildings, parcels, blocks and
neighbourhoods interconnected by streets. Accurately modelling both the appearance and …

Interactive visualization of massive models still remains a challenging problem. This is
mainly due to a combination of ever increasing model complexity with the current hardware …

To visualize large urban models efficiently, this paper presents a framework for generalizing
urban building footprints and facade textures by using multiple Gestalt rules and a graph-cut …

In this paper we propose a real‐time rendering approach for procedural cities. Our first
contribution is a new lightweight grammar representation that compactly encodes facade …

New acquisition methods have increased the availability of surface property data that
capture location-dependent data on feature surfaces. However, these data are not …

We introduce an approach for efficient distribution and adaptive rendering of 3D mesh
models supporting a simple quad parameterization. Our method extends and combines …

Multi-resolution visualization of massive urban buildings is one of the most important
components for a cyber city. Urban is a highly humanized system, and thus visualizing urban …

Pipelines are an important part of urban infrastructure development. As part of a virtual globe
(VG), the high-efficiency and high-quality visualization of 3D large-scale and high-density …

In this paper, we present an efficient approach for the interactive rendering of large‐scale
urban models, which can be integrated seamlessly with virtual globe applications. Our …
