“…These nodes are used to split the fence, thereby defining the gate region (represented by nodes (2), (5), (10), and (9)). Furthermore, nodes (4) and (7) are defined such that the gate section is taller than the fence; the surfaces enclosed by nodes (1), (2), (4), and (3) and by (5), (6), (8), and (7) are connected and created. The parts of the side other than the gate are represented by pasting the fence texture.…”

“…For existing kyomachiya, the Kyomachiya Database (Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto City, Kyomachiya Reconstruction Research Association) provides the attribute data in GIS data format, including the distribution of around 24,000 kyomachiya buildings and seven types of kyomachiya houses (full two-story, mezzanine level, threestory, single-story, converted residence, fenced residence, signboard house) (Figure 3) [8]. Parametric 3D models of these seven types of town houses were created from existing kyomachiya.…”

“…This paper provides a comprehensive discussion of the automatic generation of 3D features, including the creation from figure types other than polygons (lines and points). As a specific example of an application of this method, an urban 3D model of the entire Kyoto area is generated using GIS data of Edo-era Kyoto, which is being developed by the "Historical Geographical Information Research" unit of Ritsumeikan University's Global COE Program, the Digital Humanities Center for Japanese Arts and Cultures project (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Fiscal 2007-2011) [6][7][8][9][10][11]. This project undertakes to disseminate Kyoto's traditional culture all over the world by distributing the urban 3D model over the Web and placing the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of Kyoto within a 3D model.…”

This paper explores a method for creating large-scale urban 3D models from GIS spatial data. It is capable of automatic generation of realistic VR models based on existing GIS data. Parametric 3D models of houses are created from polygon data, fences from line data, and pedestrians and trees from point data. The method is applied to the project 'Virtual Kyoto Time-Space' in which the whole city of Kyoto of the Edo era is re-created.

This paper explores a method for creating large-scale urban 3D models using Historical GIS data. The method is capable of automatically generating realistic VR models based on GIS data at a low cost. 3D models of houses are created from polygon data, fences from line data, and pedestrians and trees from point data. The method is applied to the Virtual Kyoto Project in which the landscape of the whole city of Kyoto of the early Edo era (ca 17C) is reconstructed.Digital urban 3D models are currently created for use in fields such as landscape planning, urban environmental planning, car navigation systems, and the real estate industry. Demand for urban 3D models is also growing in academic research and in the presentation of research results in the humanities and social sciences. However, generating such models over large areas requires a substantial amount of money and time. Consequently, urban 3D models are usually only created and used in highly profitable practical fields.Since the Geographic Information System (GIS) revolution that began in the latter half of the 1980s, the collection of 2D data has improved as the

Virtual Kyoto is a virtual time-space created on a computer for the purpose of investigating the past, present and future of the historical city of Kyoto. Using the cutting-edge technologies in GIS and VR, we built Virtual Kyoto which is 4DGIS that comprise a series of 3DGIS at different points in time. Our 3D city modeling begins with the present Kyoto and then goes back to the past, including those soon after and before the World War II, the Taisho and Meiji eras, pre-modern Edo era and finally back to Heian era when the city of Kyoto was founded in late 8th century. Creating Virtual Kyoto includes the following projects : a) Archiving geo-referenced materials such as current digital maps, old topographic maps, cadastral maps, aerial photos, picture maps, street photos, landscape paintings, archaeological sites data, and historical documents ; b) Creating a database of all existing buildings including machiyas (traditional town houses) , early modern buildings, shrines and temples including historical and cultural heritages ; c) Creating 3D VR models of the above buildings ; and d) Estimating and simulating land use and landscape changes over the study periods using aforementioned materials. Virtual Kyoto is an infrastructure to place various digitally archived materials associated with the city, and to disseminate Kyoto's subtle and sophisticated forms of cultures and arts to the world over the Internet. The web-based system provides user-friendly interface to explore historical materials of cultures and arts in the geographical context of Kyoto with its historical landscapes. Virtual Kyoto should play a valuable role in the assistance for urban landscape planning of Kyoto as well as sending rich information about Kyoto to the world through the Internet.
