提案编号：CNS08-21384PI(S)：Stamos，Ioannis；Flanagan，Mary D.机构：CUNY-Hunter College New York，NY 10065-00000标题：MRI/Acq.：Acq.三维城市建模的距离扫描和快速成型设备项目建议：该项目获取用于激光距离扫描和快速原型的仪器(激光距离扫描仪和高质量数码相机)，支持城市环境中的结构三维建模。通过有效结合所有可能的信息源，这项工作的重点是获取高级几何信息和基于激光的模型的智能集成，以重建城市场地的详细模型，即数字城市。激光扫描仪可以产生非常详细的几何图形，而彩色数码相机可以产生城市场景的照片级真实感表示。这项工作允许-使用最新一代的激光距离扫描和2D图像捕获技术获取大量数据，-通过将基于激光的技术与基于图像的3D获取技术相结合来生成CAD质量的模型，-使用快速原型系统构建模型，以及-吸引学生进行视觉和应用研究。广泛的影响：该项目能够完成一个全面的软件系统，用于自动获取城市环境的照片真实感，这将有利于城市规划、考古学、谷歌地球/显微镜视觉地球可视化、灾难恢复、建筑、电影业和建筑业等应用。这个为少数群体服务的机构中的大量女性和本科生少数族裔人口可能会从这项工作中受益。

Proposal #: CNS 08-21384PI(s): Stamos, Ioannis; Flanagan, Mary D.Institution: CUNY - Hunter College New York, NY 10065-0000Title: MRI/Acq.: Acq. of Range Scanning and Rapid Prototyping Equipment for 3D Urban ModelingProject Proposed:This project, acquiring instrumentation (laser range scanner and high quality digital cameras) for laser range scanning and rapid prototyping, supports 3D modeling of structures in urban settings. With an efficient combination of all possible sources of information, the work focuses on the acquisition of high-level geometry information and intelligent integration of laser-based models to reconstruct detailed models of urban sites, i.e., digital cities. Laser scanner can produce highly-detailed geometry, whereas color digital cameras can produce photorealistic representations of urban scenes. The work allows- Acquiring large amounts of data with the latest generation of laser range scanning and 2D image capturing technology,- Generating CAD-quality models by the integration of laser-based with image-based 3D acquisition technology, - Building models using the rapid prototyping system, and- Attracting students into visual and applied research.Broader Impacts: This project enables the completion of a comprehensive software system for automated photorealistic acquisition of urban environments that will benefit applications such as urban planning, archeology, Google Earth/Microscope Visual Earth visualizations, disaster recovery, architecture, film industry, and construction industry. The large female and undergraduate minority population at this minority-serving institution is likely to benefit from this work.
