Procedural 3D Modeling of Cityscapes

Abstract

Modeling large-scale virtual urban environments remains challenging for researchers and urban planners. Cities are difficult to model in detail, since they hold diverse and complex geometries as well as complex social processes. Building largescale 3D city models by means of photogrammetric reconstruction is a time and resource intensive process and does not provide data for modeling future cityscapes. Recently, a lot of research in the area of comuter graphics has been dedicated to developing alternative 3D modeling techniques. This survey provides an overview of state-of-the-art procedural modeling techniques for generating virtual cities. Research projects using grammar-based and agent-based models, statistical approaches, and real-time procedural modeling techniques are presented and discussed.
