Abstract

3D city models are important in urban planning for sustainable development. Usually and traditionally, urban planners design the future layout of the towns by drawing the maps, using GIS or CAD packages. 3D city models based on these maps are quite effective in understanding what if the plan is realized. However, creating 3D city models is labor intensive, using a 3D modeling software such as 3ds Max or SketchUp. In order to automate laborious steps, we are proposing a GIS and CG integrated system for automatically generating 3D building models with general shaped roofs by straight skeleton computation, based on general shaped building polygons (building footprints) on digital maps.
