Measuring, reconstructing, Viewing, animating and navigating urban environments (R-1827)

Areas that require 3D data acquisition in urban environments currently are under great pressure to improve both the effenciency and quality of the underlying acquisition procedures. The goals are quite diverse. Sometimes the focus is on 3D measurements (planning, maintenance of infrastructure, ...), sometimes rather on creating and rendering models to create realistic appearances (movies, tourism, navigation aids,...), ans recently also more and more on interactions (games, location-based services,...). URBAN will work to remove a number of key stumbling blocks in several of these domains.
