Abstract
A methodology to rapidly produce environments that combine the intuition of in situ augmented reality (AR) with the commodity of virtual reality (VR) is proposed in this paper, by bringing together unmanned aerial systems (UAS) imagery and procedural modelling. While fully synthesized environments provide a very accurate visualization of the conserved parts of the real-world, missing parts - namely ruins - can be complemented with procedurally modelled structures. Regarding methodology's steps, firstly, a UAS flight mission gathers georeferenced imagery data about the site of interest. Then, the image set is converted to an accurate 3D model of the referred site, through photogrammetry. By considering the geographic information that also results from the previous process, ruins are manually outlined for georeferencing purposes. To complement ruins' missing information, virtual models of buildings are produced too, in a procedural modelling tool. Finally, at the full VR environment setup step, all elements are imported and subjected to geometric transformations that aim to match the procedurally modelled buildings with the outlined ruins. To improve the insight about the process work-flow, system's architecture and implementation are presented along with a case-study regarding a historically relevant site - Vila Velha's city gates (Vila Real, Portugal) - and preliminary results.

Generation of virtual buildings composed by arbitrary shapes

Authors
Adão, T; Magalhães, L; Peres, E;

Publication
SpringerBriefs in Computer Science

Abstract
This chapter presents the final version of the procedural modelling methodology which works with an ontology-based grammar. Its procedural modelling process supports the generation of virtual buildings delimited by non-convex shapes, with divisions constrained by a variable number of delimiting wall segments. Furthermore, an experimental graph-based stochastic process that bridges with this methodology to enable the production of virtual random buildings is covered. © The Author(s) 2016.

Generation of virtual buildings constrained by convex shapes

Adão, T; Magalhães, L; Peres, E;

Publication
SpringerBriefs in Computer Science

Abstract
The second procedural modelling methodology version that will be addressed in this chapter has a modified treemap-based approach that enables the generation of virtual buildings with floor plans constrained by convex polygons. Other improvements include the input rules simplification and the incorporation of a moderation process to validate each input set (regarding syntax and geometry). © The Author(s) 2016.
