The document discusses using 3D LIDAR data and multi-agent geosimulation to model urban morphogenesis and assess the impacts of new development scenarios. Key aspects include developing an accurate 3D surface model from LIDAR and cadaster data to analyze visibility and sunlight exposure. Agents representing buildings and urban elements interact based on programmed behaviors and environmental factors. Preliminary results show visibility is an important parameter and LIDAR data provides precision, though computations are time-consuming. Further applications of high-resolution 3D LIDAR data could improve simulation accuracy and dynamic visualization.

1. 3D LIDAR data application for urban morphogenesis multi-agent vector based geosimulation Vitor Silva, Dr. Corinne Plazanet, Cláudio Carneiro, Pr. François Golay 2008 ICCSA conference GEOG-AN-MOD session 2008 July the 2 nd
2. Context of the research Mega cities dynamics = complex auto-organised systems Goal = develop simulation platform for decision support => assess scenarios of impacts of new architectural programs Features (cadastre + SwissTopo datas): Buildings + their programmatic use Built environment : roads, railway, bus Natural environment: rivers, lake, green areas Administrative limits + LIDAR data => construct accurate 3D urban surface model for visibility analysis

4. Laws Agents have different behaviours according to programmatic use and environment 5 kinds of laws : Growing : probabilistic residential and derived equipment growing rate Stability : probabilistic end of life according to predefined thresholds Influence : programmatic influence between programs (services / injures) Morphology : groups’ optimization Physical constraints : neighbourhood thresholds, slope Visibility on particular attractions (e.g. lake Geneva) Sunshine exposure

7. Construction of 3D urban surface model 3D urban surface model LIDAR data , 6-8 pts / m2 Vertical resolution: 15 cm, Horizontal resolution: 20 cm Normalised data height = terrain – building elevation Cadastre (vectorial building footprints) D.T.M. Building model LIDAR roof coverage good insufficient
8. Visibility analysis: 2 perspectives Using directly 3D urban surface model, from top and ground surfaces Over buildings façades, in a vertical direction (elevation) Grid T(i,j) Resolution: 1m/1m Visibility = ∑ i,j T(i,j) Top down
9. Example of visibility analysis ~ 12 kms ~ 2,5 kms Constrained to narrow angle, due to heavy time consuming computation For each point, 2-5 minutes computation (3’000’000 pixels) Pilot area: 500 × 500 meters
10. Results Simulation without visibility parameter Simulation with visibility parameter Lake Geneva Lake Geneva Lake Geneva
11. Conclusions Conception of the approach, first results Visibility indicators have great importance for localization => precision of LIDAR data particularly interesting Improvements on the simulations results => better interpretation of importance of LIDAR data Time consuming Great perspectives … Implement the approach into the system would allow: Integrate visibilty and sunshine analysis at each transition Dynamic visualisation Compute potential visibility for new buildings
12. Implementation Shp files LIDAR data -> TerraSan Programming -> MATLAB Spatial Analysis -> Manifold GIS Visibility and sunshine analysis
13. Further 3D Lidar data applications Compute solar exposure (8 orientations) Morphological indicators Global 3D volume (m3) 3D complexity: number of faces Roof slope => classification Dynamic 3D interface for more realistic view of city morphogenesis 2,5D 3D => More accurate volume
