This thesis is concerned with the question of how to efficiently model and
represent historic buildings in the computer. Since detailed 3D modeling can
often require considerable amounts of effort, automation is a natural goal to
strive for. This automation can be provided by procedural modeling. Common
procedural modeling techniques excel at the generation of a vast amount of
simple buildings for entire virtual cities. While simple box-shaped buildings
can be easily described, for more complex buildings such as complex historic
buildings procedural techniques can be used only sparely.
Virtually generated buildings and cities are increasingly demanded by virtual
worlds, movies, and video games. Modeling them in detail requires a huge
amount of resources and historic buildings are one part that is not well covered
today. Historic buildings have different parts that need different modeling
techniques.
This thesis investigates some of those parts and tries to find new answers on
how to model them procedurally. The introduced modeling techniques comprise
a technique to model complex roof landscapes of historic cities, a technique to
procedurally model the geometry of round building parts, and a technique to
capture the forms of ornamental decorations in historic buildings. Further it
compares domain specific methods from software design to procedural modeling
techniques and draws comparisons there. The basis for all the research forms a
common programming language that is designed for procedural modeling. |
