Gruen, A; Behnisch, M and Kohler, N (2009) Perspectives in the reality-based generation, nD modelling, and operation of buildings and building stocks. Building Research & Information, 37(5-6), pp. 503-519. ISSN 0961-3218
Abstract
The methods and technologies for generating large area and high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) building and city models offer new possibilities for realistic visualization as well as for multiple analytical interpretations. The major techniques used in reality-based city model generation are considered for their application to building stocks. 3D descriptions of objects are exemplified in CC-Modeller, a semi-automated procedure for value-added data generation from images. 3D city modelling and life cycle-oriented 3D building stock modelling, in particular the combination of geometric and semantic information and related standards, are discussed. The potential needs of building stock research and management and the possibility to extract the desired information from images are examined. Key challenges are the handling of temporal data combined with exploratory visualization, understanding user perceptions at different scales/detail along with time-dependent representations.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
