Title
Generating Semantic 3D Models of Underground Infrastructure
Abstract
We present a modeling pipeline to create interactive three-dimensional visualizations from 2D geospatial databases. Our application area is the underground infrastructure owned and operated by utility companies. Consequently, our modeling framework creates urban models based on real world data used by these companies rather than on synthetic data. The 3D models are encoded in a scene-graph that is a mixture of visual models with semantic markup, used for interactive filtering and styling of the models. In our approach, the actual graphics primitives are generated on-the-fly by scripts that are attached to the scene-graph nodes. This combination of two previously unrelated techniques - semantic markup in a scene-graph and generative modeling - allows retaining semantic information until very late in the rendering pipeline. This is the crucial prerequisite for enhanced visualization effects and interactive behavior without compromising interactive frame rates.
