Applications of 3D Imaging in Urban Planning and Design

In combination with the knowledge acquired from our curriculum of three-dimensional (3D) imaging technology, this article investigates the models, approaches and optimization pathways which are relevant with the project of urban planning and design. By means of analyzing practical case examples, fundamental applications of real-scene 3D techniques and 3D geographic information systems are explored. Brief elaborations in accordance with the technical parameters are presented in tables to provide explicit visual support and scientific evidence, upgrade the accuracy and efficiency on urban planning and design, as well as promoting intelligent development of modern cities.
