A web-based 3D visualisation and assessment system for urban precinct scenario modelling

Alternative Optical Acquisition Technique for Supporting Reverse Engineering Process

“…3D technology was found in 1838 by Sir Charles Wheatstone who described the process of stereopsis [23]. Based on the computer graphics, 3D modeling is the process of displaying 3D surface of product [24]. The differentiation of 3D modelling that is better than 2D method is flexibility of showing realistic shape which provides more accuracy result and reduces human error in misplacing.…”

Leveraging VGI Integrated with 3D Spatial Technology to Support Urban Intensification in Melbourne, Australia

“…These advancements have added more value to sustainable information sharing and semantic representation of volumetric urban objects, such as buildings, vegetation objects, waterbodies, and other urban infrastructures (Amirebrahimi, Rajabifard, Mendis, Ngo, & Sabri, 2016;Gröger & Plümer, 2012;Zhu et al, 2011). Other improvements in 3D geospatial information including standardisation of 3D GIS formats such as City Geography Markup Language (CityGML) (Kolbe, Gröger, & Plümer, 2005), Building Information Models (Mignard & Nicolle, 2014), and web 3D visualisation (Herman & Rezník, 2013;Shojaei, Rajabifard, Kalantari, Bishop, & Aien, 2014;Trubka, Glackin, Lade, & Pettit, 2015) have all contributed to improving urban planning and management practices. Some examples include urban heating energy demand forecasting (Strzalka, Bogdahn, Coors, & Eicker, 2011), urban engineering (Borrmann et al, 2014), and future urban development scenario assessment (Trubka et al, 2015).…”

Geospatial tools for Community Engagement in the Christchurch Rebuild, New Zealand

“…The months after the February 2011 earthquake, featured unprecedented social change in the central city and eastern suburbs (Howden-Chapman et al, 2014). The effects of such social disruption impacted communities throughout several areas of the city, particularly those in proximity to the Avon River, and to the coast (CERA, 2014;Whitman et al, 2013). In a recovery context, community engagement is quintessential to enhance individual and social wellbeing, therefore the application to Christchurch aims to support a community-driven recovery through the promotion of consultation, participation, and co-design in the processes of decision-making for the rebuild.…”

“…The incorporation of three distinct groups of residential typologies aimed to capture the range of different housing and building material choices currently applied in urban redevelopment. The development of 'BAU' residential typologies was based in architectural prototypes for dwellings summarized in a federally-funded report developed by the Federal Department of Industry in Australia (Trubka, Glackin, Lade, & Pettit, 2015), and aimed to portray the current practices of residential typologies in single houses, attached houses, battle axe, 1 houses, walk-up apartments, and mid high-rise apartment buildings. The 'Efficient' group of residential buildings contains the same number of objects as the 'BAU' group, with the same architectural design while featuring material improvements for better environmental performance (i.e.…”
