Smart at Scale: Cities to Watch - 25 Case Studies
The World Economic Forum Global Future Council on Cities and Urbanization has leveraged its knowledge, networks and the public to identify 25 leading smart city projects that have successfully moved beyond the pilot stage.
Visualising detailed CityGML and ADE at the building scale
There is an increasing activity in developing workflows and implementations to convert BIM data into CityGML. However, there are still not many platforms that are suitable to view and interact with the detailed information stored as a result of such conversions, especially if an Application Domain Extension (ADE) is involved to support additional information.
Exploration of open data in Southeast Asia to generate 3D building models
This article investigates the current status of generating 3D building models across 11 countries in Southeast Asia from publicly available data, primarily volunteered geoinformation (OpenStreetMap).
The ISPRS-EuroSDR GeoBIM benchmark 2019
Standardised data formats and data models are essential for data integration and interoperability, which in turn adds value to data by allowing its reuse in multiple contexts.
Assessing the quality of OpenStreetMap building data in Singapore
As OpenStreetMap is getting increasingly popular due to its open-license nature and collaborative aspect, its data quality is …
Tools for BIM-GIS Integration (IFC Georeferencing and Conversions): Results from the GeoBIM Benchmark 2019
Update 2020-09-26: The paper was featured as the cover story of the September 2020 issue of IJGI!
The integration of 3D city models with Building Information Models (BIM), coined as GeoBIM, facilitates improved data support to several applications, eg, 3D map updates, building permits issuing, detailed city analysis, infrastructure design, context-based building design, to name a few.
