VCity's research topics
During the last few decades, data related to cities has been increasing at a very rapid rate. More and more organizations collect and release data with open licenses. City makers are increasingly interested in the comprehension of this data deluge for understanding the cities of the past and planning the cities of the future. The data acquisition in multiple dimensions (thematic, geometric, and temporal) leads to a digital equivalent of the actual urban environment. Researchers, urban planners, historians, etc., use urban digital twins for 3D geo-visualization. It also completes a large panel of multi-source, multi-dimensional and heterogeneous urban data. Participatory approaches to urban planning have caught the attention of governments and communities. Urban digital twins are interesting since they give the users a way to navigate, visualize and interact with the virtual urban environments and the associated objects in spatial and temporal dimensions. The Vcity team works on algorithms for a better understanding of the urban data. This research focuses on five topics presented below.
