3D Modelling Building of District Johar Baru Using ArcGIS Pro and CityEngine

Abstract

Various image-based approaches are currently available for 3 Dimensional (3D) modelling. Among them, two main geomatics techniques are photogrammetry and laser scanning. Owing to the limited availability of photographs to the general populace, the employment of satellite and aerial photogrammetry is rather intricate. In light of Jakarta's absence of a comprehensive three-dimensional portrayal, there is an impetus to generate accurate, precise, and detailed tri-dimensional visualizations of a particular sector within Jakarta, specifically Johar Baru. This endeavor shall be undertaken through a technique termed LoD, with ArcGIS and CityEngine serving as the fundamental instruments for this initiative. To do this, we provided a framework that leverages existing technologies and data sources to reduce the time and work needed for prospective 3D indoor routing applications. Our indoor and building 3D models were created using the CityEngine procedural modelling approach from CAD files and building footprints. This work does not address data delivery or administration; it primarily focuses on 3D visualization. Cadastral, visualization, and non-functional requirements are the three main areas of 3D visualization requirements against which CityEngine was assessed. A case study corresponding to a real issue that has already been recognized in Portugal is used to evaluate the problem. The results are encouraging. The CityEngine won't be the best choice for all users because of the steep learning curve. Using CityEngine, we can show and design a 3D reality in Johar Baru.
