Software capable of quickly producing 3-D building models

Researchers at the UT have developed software which enables users to quickly produce 3D models of buildings for relatively little money. 3D models are used for navigation purposes, training purposes, urban planning and safety, building maintenance and the fitting of solar panels, for example. The software can automatically generate 95% of the detailed 3D building models, thus reducing production costs and lead time. The software is based on research conducted by Biao Xiong, who obtained his doctorate at the Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) on 5 December. The software is already being used for the provision of 3D maps.
