Reconstructing Historical 3D City Models from Maps

Researchers at TU Delft present a methodology to generate plausible 3D city models from scanned historical maps, using alignment, procedural modeling, and height inference to minimize manual work and support applications like population estimation, disease mapping, and spatial simulations for European cities between 1700 and 2000. Challenges in Historical 3D City Modeling and Their Significance

The Comprehensive Global Building Dataset: GlobalBuildingAtlas

GlobalBuildingAtlas introduces an open dataset with global coverage of 2.75 billion building polygons, 3 m resolution height maps, and LoD1 3D models, derived from satellite imagery, offering enhanced detail for urban analysis, planning, and monitoring progress toward the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The Need for Detailed Global Building Information Buildings serve as the foundation of
