3D modeling and analysis in urban planning process
Santrauka
Nowadays 3D modeling and visualization of large cities have become more and more popular. They allow to understand the spatial properties of urban objects in a more meaningful way. Accordingly there are new solutions to make these processes faster and cheaper. The reason for their growing popularity is the wide variety of usage areas for 3D city models. They can be used further not only for research and education purposes in urban planning and design, but also for virtual reality in the movie and gaming industries. The best method for need to create a large size 3D model in a short time and with low expenses is procedural modeling, which is a 3D model creation using rules and algorithms. It is a cost-effective solution for generating 3D urban contents. Procedural modeling in the software Esri has been mainly used for creating a 3D model of urban areas.
