Abstract

CityGML is a standard data model for the representation, storage and exchange of 3D city models issued by the OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium). CityGML represents a very attractive solution that combines 3D information and semantic information in a single data model. The efficient visualization of the geometric information contained in the CityGML data model is still an open challenge. A survey of the state of the art shows that current approaches have to be improved. In this paper we introduce a new approach for efficient web visualization of CityGML without plugins based on the use of X3D and web services. The approach has been evaluated with an implementation applied to built heritage at urban scale based on an extended CityGML model.
