From the advent of WebGL to the present, a wide number of solutions have been developed (including libraries, middleware, and applications), encouraging the establishment of 3D data as online media of practical use. The fast development of 3D technologies and related web-based resources makes it diffi- cult to identify and properly understand the current trends and open issues. Starting from these premises, this survey analyzes the state of the art of 3D web publishing, reviews the possibilities provided by the major current approaches, proposes a categorization of the features supported by exist- ing solutions, and cross-maps these with the requirements of a few main application domains. The results of this analysis should help in defining the technical characteristics needed to build efficient and effective 3D data presentation, taking into account the application contexts.

Full text available at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1561/0600000083 1 Introduction Three-dimensional (3D) data has evolved from being merely specialized content, used just by a small community of professionals, to a com- pletely integrated web medium, now reaching a reasonable maturity level. Although the technological foundations needed to enable this new medium to bloom have been available for a few years, users’ perceptions have changed only recently and 3D web content has now started to be able to reach the wider public. In this evolutionary process, a key role was played by the democratization of 3D content creation (the availability of low-cost 3D scanning devices, improvement of

Supervisors Dr.Nikolas Prechtel Dr.Sander Münster Submitted on: 18th September 2017 Faculty of Environmental Sciences Institute for Cartography Task for the preparation of a Master Thesis Name: Mussab Mohamed Abuelhassan Abdalla Matriculation number: 4118733 Matriculation year: 2014 Title: Concept and Implementation of a Contextualized Navigable 3D Landscape Model: The Uch Enmek Example(Altai Republic,Siberia). Objectives of work Scope/Previous Results:Virtual Globes can attract and inform websites visitors on natural and cultural objects and sceneries.Geo-centered information transfer is suitable for majority of sites and artifacts. Virtual Globes have been tested with an involvement of TUD institutes: e.g. the GEPAM project (Weller,2013), and an archaeological excavation site in the Altai Mountains ("Uch enmek", c.f. Schmid 2012, Schubert 2014).Virtual Globes technology should be flexible in terms of the desired geo-data configuration. Research data should be controlled by the authors. Modes of linking geo-objects to different types of meta-information seems evenly important for a successful deployment. Motivation: For an archaeological conservation site ("Uch Enmek") effort has already been directed into data collection, model development and an initial web-based presentation.The present "Open Web Globe" technology is not developed any further, what calls for a migra- tion into a different web environment.

    243 Web-Based Visualization of 3D Factory Layout from Hybrid Modeling of CAD and Point Cloud on Virtual Globe DTX Solution Vahid Salehi1 and Shirui Wang2 1Munich University of Applied Science, [email protected] 2Institut für Engineering Design and Mechatronic Systems and MPLM e.V., [email protected] ABSTRACT 3D modeling is one of the main technologies in virtual factory. A satisfying visualization of 3D virtual factory enables workers, engineers, and managers to have a straightforward view of plant layout. It could facilitate and optimize the further planning of manufacturing facilities and systems. Traditionally, a 3D representation of manufacturing facilities and equipment is performed by utilizing CAD modeling. However, this process would be considerably time-consuming when it comes to the 3D modeling of manufacturing surroundings and the environment in the entire factory. Nowadays, with the development of 3D laser scanner, using scanning technology to obtain the digital replica of objects is becoming the new trend. The scanning result – point cloud data has been widely used in various fields for 3D- visualization, modeling, and analysis. Therefore, hybrid modeling of CAD and laser scan data provide a rapid and effective method for 3D factory layout visualization. Since visualization of 3D models is no longer limited to desktop-based solutions but has become available over the web browser powered by web graphic library (WebGL), in this paper, we proposed a systematic and sustainable workflow based on the DTX-Solutions© systems engineering integrated approach to generate and visualize hybrid 3D factory layout where the point cloud model is combined with CAD objects of new manufacturing equipment on a web-based DTX- Solutions© library.

  • Survey of 3D Digital Heritage Repositories and Platforms
    Virtual Archaeology Review, 11(23): 1-15, 2020 https://doi.org/10.4995/var.2020.13226 © UPV, SEAV, 2015 Received: March 4, 2020 Accepted: May 26, 2020 SURVEY OF 3D DIGITAL HERITAGE REPOSITORIES AND PLATFORMS ESTUDIO DE LOS REPOSITORIOS Y PLATAFORMAS DE PATRIMONIO DIGITAL EN 3D Erik Champion , Hafizur Rahaman * Faculty of Humanities, Curtin University, Bentley 6845, Australia. [email protected]; [email protected] Highlights: • A survey of relevant features from eight institutional and eleven commercial online 3D repositories in the scholarly field of 3D digital heritage. • Presents a critical review of their hosting services and 3D model viewer features. • Proposes six features to enhance services of 3D repositories to support the GLAM sector, heritage scholars and heritage communities. Abstract: Despite the increasing number of three-dimensional (3D) model portals and online repositories catering for digital heritage scholars, students and interested members of the general public, there are very few recent academic publications that offer a critical analysis when reviewing the relative potential of these portals and online repositories. Solid reviews of the features and functions they offer are insufficient; there is also a lack of explanations as to how these assets and their related functionality can further the digital heritage (and virtual heritage) field, and help in the preservation, maintenance, and promotion of real-world 3D heritage sites and assets. What features do they offer? How could their feature list better cater for the needs of the GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) sector? This article’s priority is to examine the useful features of 8 institutional and 11 commercial repositories designed specifically to host 3D digital models.
