Rectangular Selection of Components in Large 3D Models on the Web

Abstract

Figure 1: User-driven rectangular selection on a model with 75k components within the 3D Repo cloud platform. a) The user draws a rectangle to indicate the desired selection volume. b) The system performs intersection calculations in real-time and displays the selected objects with an "X-ray" highlighting. c) The user hides the selection and the state change is reflected in the component tree.

Exploring Schemes for Visualizing Urban Wind Fields Based on CFD Simulations by Employing Ogc Standards

“…Another web visualization by Prieto (Izkara) was developed for 3D city models on mobile devices using X3DOM, driven by the use of CityGML as the reference data model. A novel method for rectangular selection of components in large 3D models on the web was introduced by Friston et al (2019). A thorough study with a focus on the view conformance class of the 3DPS was done by Gutbell et al (2016).…”

Visual Analytics Web Platform for Detecting High Wind Energy Potential in Urban Environments by Employing Ogc Standards

“…Authors (Klimenko et al, 2018) implemented in the virtual reality realm a web application that visualizes in 3D space the similarity of scientific papers. Authors (Friston et al, 2019) introduced a novel method for rectangular selection of components in large 3D models on the web. This technique can be adopted by embedded systems running on WebGL.…”
