“…A visualisation application of 3D city models is to present the existing city and to disseminate urban information to citizens [40, [282][283][284], and proposed developments and enhancements in a 3D virtual environment [285,286]. For instance, the model of the City of Adelaide in Australia provides a public consultation tool to assist in visualising transport, urban design and planning [287].…”

In the last decades, 3D city models appear to have been predominantly used for visualisation; however, today they are being increasingly employed in a number of domains and for a large range of tasks beyond visualisation. In this paper, we seek to understand and document the state of the art regarding the utilisation of 3D city models across multiple domains based on a comprehensive literature study including hundreds of research papers, technical reports and online resources. A challenge in a study such as ours is that the ways in which 3D city models are used cannot be readily listed due to fuzziness, terminological ambiguity, unclear added-value of 3D geoinformation in some instances, and absence of technical information. To address this challenge, we delineate a hierarchical terminology (spatial operations, use cases, applications), and develop a theoretical reasoning to segment and categorise the diverse uses of 3D city models. Following this framework, we provide a list of identified use cases of 3D city models (with a description of each), and their applications. Our study demonstrates that 3D city models are employed in at least 29 use cases that are a part of more than 100 applications. The classified inventory could be useful for scientists as well as stakeholders in the geospatial industry, such as companies and national mapping agencies, as it may serve as a reference document to better position their operations, design product portfolios, and to better understand the market.

“…This type of geographic information platform and service has significantly increased the awareness, publicity, and usability of geo-spatial data and their applications. By providing internet-based web-embedded or standalone systems for representing and visualizing geo-spatial and other data in specific mark-up languages (Ballagh et al, 2011), these systems also enables developers to implement elaborative and fancy interfaces for their sophisticated applications (Sheppard and Cizek, 2009;Wu et al, 2011). As discussed in a previous study (Goodchild, 2008), the use of digital contents of geospatial information is diversified and can be interpreted in very different spatial concepts.…”

ABSTRACT:The Asian Association on Remote Sensing (AARS) organizes a web contest (WEBCON) of photogrammetry, remote sensing and spatial information sciences in the annual meeting of Asian Conference on Remote Sensing (ACRS) every year. The purpose of WEBCON is to promote the development of web and other forms of internet services of the internet related to geo-information sciences and to attract more students and young scientists participating in the related fields of study and applications. Since 2011, WEBCON has become one of the major events in ACRS and successfully increased the interest in the research, development and applications of photogrammetry, remote sensing and spatial information sciences among students and young scientist. The success of WEBCON is an excellent example of promoting the profession of spatial information to young people.

“…Upon registration, the users can add/edit both data and descriptions, thus adding a participative nature to the collection. Wu et al (2010) describe a 3D urban planning interoperable environment based on GeoGlobe, a virtual globe prototype developed by the authors. Both urban planning designers and the public can visualize, manipulate and discuss urban planning projects.…”

This chapter addresses two recent topics in the field of geo-information, the former more technological and the latter more scientific. On one side, there is an emerging trend of visualizing data and their changes in space and time through multidimensional geospatial clients and/or virtual globes. In the most advanced cases, these are not simply plain viewers but also allow analysis of the data by acting as "multidimensional intelligent geo-viewers". On the other side, citizen science is providing a great momentum to the possibility of lay people taking part in scientific development. It is a new, citizen-centred paradigm which, in most cases, takes advantage of the individual and collective augmented capability of sensing the surrounding world through the sensors that we wear. The "citizen sensors" will consciously contribute to this development, either through volunteered geographic information or by being themselves an unconscious part of the data analytics, which makes use of geo-crowdsourced data to extract information in order to create a higher level understanding of natural and manmade phenomena. This chapter seeks to outline the Web technological solutions for visualizing and analyzing such data, through a summary of the current state of the art and the original applications developed by the authors.
