“…3D images spaces differ from monoscopic, typically panoramic 2D image spaces such as offered by Cyclomedia's Cycloramas [23], whose main measuring principle is based on interactive forward intersections within panoramas captured from multiple positions and at different epochs. 3D image spaces have numerous similarities to the model behind Earthmine's commercial solution [6,28].…”

Abstract:In this paper, we introduce the concept and an implementation of geospatial 3D image spaces as new type of native urban models. 3D image spaces are based on collections of georeferenced RGB-D imagery. This imagery is typically acquired using multi-view stereo mobile mapping systems capturing dense sequences of street level imagery. Ideally, image depth information is derived using dense image matching. This delivers a very dense depth representation and ensures the spatial and temporal coherence of radiometric and depth data. This results in a high-definition WYSIWYG ("what you see is what you get") urban model, which is intuitive to interpret and easy to interact with, and which provides powerful augmentation and 3D measuring capabilities. Furthermore, we present a scalable cloud-based framework for generating 3D image spaces of entire cities or states and a client architecture for their web-based exploitation. The model and the framework strongly support the smart city notion of efficiently connecting the urban environment and its processes with experts and citizens alike. In the paper we particularly investigate quality aspects of the urban model, namely the obtainable georeferencing accuracy and the quality of the depth map extraction. We show that our image-based georeferencing approach is capable of improving the original direct georeferencing accuracy by an order of magnitude and that the presented new multi-image matching approach is capable of providing high accuracies along with a significantly improved completeness of the depth maps.

Abstract. The development and maintenance of the infrastructure, facilities, logistics and other assets of the Port of Rotterdam requires a broad spectrum of heterogeneous information. This information concerns features, which are spatially distributed above ground, underground, in the air and in the water. The data are managed in a variety of data models with varying levels of dimensionality, granularity, accuracy and upto-dateness. Additionally increasing number of 3D design models is becoming available. This complexity of tasks and diversity of information challenges the Port authority to look for more advanced 3D solutions. This paper presents research in progress related to developing a 3D SII in support of information and process management within the Port of Rotterdam.

(Verbree et al, 2004) have studied the applicability of panoramic images, a CycloMedia (www.cyclomedia.nl) full-colour images or Cyclorama's. The intention of CycloMedia is to cover the Netherlands with cycloramas to support all kinds of geo-information systems and services.…”

During the crisis management, several organizations coordinate their emergency work based not only on well-defined policies and procedures (product of careful preparation) but also on the outcomes of the decisionmaking process. Decision-making is a highly complicated process in crisis situations. Good support in decision-making when disaster occurs is of critical importance to react accurately, fast and effectively. Good decisionmaking helps to control damage, save lives and resources, and reduce unwanted consequences of a crisis. Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is increasingly considered a critical aspect of decision-making in disaster management. This paper presents our concept for an appropriate SDI (openstandard generic platform) assisting in administration, analysis of data to predict development of a crisis event and accordingly advise for changes of plans IntroductionThe first hours after a disaster happens are very chaotic and difficult but perhaps the most important for successfully fighting the consequences, saving human lives and reducing damages in private and public properties. In these first hours, the good estimation of the current situation is of particular importance. A large number of questions (e.g. where is the emergency situation, how to get there, how many casualties, what kind of information do we have from there), are pending for answering.Additionally to the unclear situation, many different actors from different sectors (fire brigade, police, paramedics, municipalities, etc.) with, sometimes, contradictory requirements are involved in managing the situation. Since many of the tasks they have to perform are rather different than their daily work routines, a good cooperation and collaboration between different teams is of critical importance.
