Kolloquium Geoinformatik 3D city models beyond visualisation

The first part of the talk will present the 3D geoinformation research group at the Delft University of Technology and cover current developments in 3D GIS in the Netherlands, such as standardisation of 3D geoinformation and applications. The second part will focus on the PhD research of the presenter. The research comprised several topics around the level of detail (LOD) in 3D city models. For example, it developed a method to benchmark the influence and value of different LODs in different spatial analyses, and the influence of the propagation of positional error. The method is supported by procedurally generated (synthetic) 3D data that may be automatically degraded thus simulating acquisition errors.
