Creating a 3D Model of the Existing Historical Topographic Object Based on Low-Level Aerial Imagery

Abstract

The aim of the research was to create 3D cartographic visualization based on various sources and data types of an existing historical topographic object. The authors will present the stages of the research for the historical windmill located in Poland. The most recent surveying methods, such as GNSS method, low-level aerial photogrammetry and advanced IT tools, including computer software, will be applied for this purpose. The sequence of research procedures adopted by the authors of this article allowed for the creation of a 3D model of the tested windmill and its implementation into the Internet environment. This allowed to increase the cartographic range of spatial information. In addition, the research results allow for the extension of research in the field of history and can be the basis for their implementation.

Design, Development and Applicability Evaluation of a Digital Cartographic Model for 3D Cadastre Mapping in China

“…It advocates detaching the portrayal model from the semantically rich 3D geospatial model for better portrayal interoperability and cartography automation. It is important to distinguish the 3D portrayal model from the 3D model presented in [8,9]. The former is a schema that structurally describes the information involved in the cartographic enrichment of original data.…”

“…As the cadastre in multiple countries starts to register the 3D legal space and its right, restriction, and responsibility, many researchers believe that moving the cadastre map from 2D to 3D and cartographically enriching the raw data may bring a series of benefits to 3D legal space visualization [1], including intuitive presentations [2], 3D interactive navigation [3], and extra symbol design choices compared with 2D visualization [4]. The latest 3D mapping development in various application fields demonstrates the potential to create an immersive 3D environment by using not only visual but auditive channels [5,6], and such an immersive environment benefits a wide spectrum of users and tasks, such as noise evaluation, biodiversity, urban planning, site marketing, and cultural heritage displaying [5][6][7][8][9]. As 3D cadastre mapping often deals with congregated scenarios and complex legal realities, fine-tuning the cartographic enrichment is key to ensuring a usable mapping result.…”

Methodological Proposal for Automated Detection of the Wildland–Urban Interface: Application to the Metropolitan Regions of Madrid and Barcelona

“…This information would be of great value in very detailed studies for emergency management and risk prevention in those areas where the existence of fire risk exposure was previously detected. In addition, advanced topographic methods, such as the GNSS method and the object of topographic information based on low-altitude aerial imagery [35], together with field LiDAR, are decisive tools for these purposes.…”

Virtual 3D Campus for Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM)

“…For instance, a digital twin of a city with high-level-of-detail will include road networks in addition to buildings, which can be used for visibility analysis, urban heat island detection and air quality simulations [12]. 3D models can also be constructed to document historical structures, such as windmills, as part of cultural heritage conservation [13]. This can also be extended to immersive and interactive virtual reality visualization of prehistoric artifacts [14].…”
