Value-added Services for 3D City Models using Cloud Computing

An increasing number of 3D city models is being offered for viewing purposes on different web platforms. Adding value to these models beyond visualization is a task cloud services offer optimal support for. By exporting the project relevant part of the model and uploading it to the cloud (possibly along some model-linked documents) resources like storage space and access control are outsourced to the cloud services while keeping the original data safe. The exported models can then be collaboratively modified and enriched by a work team without altering the original official 3D model administered by the city.     «
