The integration of landscape into planning policies requires an articulated territorial approach supported by multi-dimensional and multi-temporal Spatial Data Infrastructure. It requests to improve SDI able to generate innovative typologies of representation with respect to ‘different points of view’. In fact, many landscape representations rely nowadays on models integrated by aerial images with weak possibilities to reproduce views similar to the human eye, especially the ones at a human height. A methodological approach of rediscovering and correlating to new current maps the long tradition of historical human eye perspectives, water front view maps and itinerary maps, has been here experimented. The paper investigates the potential of panoramic view reconstruction and simulation from images acquired by RC/UAV and by multisensor ground platforms. The main aim is to generate multiple views models able to simulate real scenarios at the height of the observer, at ground level and lower altitudes. In particular the use of panoramic images for TopographicDB texturing is discussed showing their potential in improving value content decoding of built environment and 3D city models, supporting planners with more realistic instruments in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). At the same time, such representations can improve knowledge transfer to citizens, toward an acknowledged tourism and volunteered image data acquisition through I-devices applications. On the other side, limits and critical elements that need to be overcome by the research of new algorithms and new acquisition instruments are shown.

The paper illustrates the potentials of geospatial information (GI) and related services that can enable structuring, access and sharing information regarding energy efficiency in buildings. This work refers on one side to European initiative that foresees a creation of macro-regions that are defined by their similarities in terms of climate, culture, construction typologies, economy, energy prices and energy policies and on the other side to the INSPIRE Directive that aims to ensure compatibility and usability Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) across Europe . The research here illustrated regards a geo-portal and geo-mapping tool that are able to provide new scenarios for retrieving geospatial knowledge regarding energy efficiency of European built environment.

This paper presents a methodology able to handle georeferenced panoramas (GeoPans) projected on 3D models for the integration of landscapes into digital environments. This is not a simple task because the typical visualization (say vertical point of view) through geographic data and GIS software does not fulfil a fundamental request: the virtual reproduction of the human eye at head height. This means that a transition from aerial images to ground (terrestrial) data is mandatory. In addition, an improvement of SDI able to generate innovative typologies of representation is needed. In this work a methodological approach aimed at rediscovering and correlating 3D reconstructions of landscapes with the typical human vision is illustrated. This contribution investigates the potential of panoramic view reconstruction and simulation from images acquired by RC/UAV and by multi-sensor terrestrial platforms (photoGPS) along with existing cartographic data. The main aim is the generation of mu...

Analysis of landscape heritage and territorial transformations dedicated to its protection and preservation rely increasingly upon the contribution of integrated disciplines. In 2000 the European Landscape Convention established the necessity ‘to integrate landscape into its regional and town planning policies and in its cultural, environmental, agricultural, social and economic policies’. Such articulated territorial dimension requires an approach able to consider multi-dimensional data and information from different spatial and temporal series, supporting territorial analysis and spatial planning under different points of view. Most of landscape representation instruments are based on 3D models based on top-down image/views, with still weak possibilities to reproduce views similar to the human eye or map surface development along preferential directions (e.g. water front views). A methodological approach of rediscovering the long tradition of historical water front view maps, itin...
