CITYGRID^® TEXTURISER

Existing 3D city models can be automatically textured from oriented images using CityGRID^® Texturiser. As a result, the attractiveness of the digital city model can be significantly improved with little effort. Oriented aerial photographs can be used for the texturing of roofs and facades, mobile mapping for the high-resolution texturing of street-side facades. CityGRID^® Texturiser currently consists of a set of individual routines. A consistent user interface is under development.

Features:

• Access to building models in CityGRID^® or CityGML format
• Import of aerial images and associated orientation parameters.
• Automatic partitioning for better control of automatic processing.
• Automatic texturing based on a surface clustering in order to guarantee a harmonious overall impression of the building texture.
• Optional visibility analysis to minimise the mismapping of neighboring buildings.
• Fast calculation through efficient storage management.
• Parallelization of texturing process by utlisation of several work stations.
• Optional packing of textures in atlases.
