It followed a formula pioneered by multi-user dungeons, or MUDs: mostly text-based worlds composed of rooms, objects, and avatars, designed as much for social interaction as structured gameplay. The original Cybertown was launched during the early days of massively multiplayer online games, a few years before Ultima Online and EverQuest became second homes for millions of players. It’s the result of hundreds of former residents rallying to rebuild the digital city, drawing on everything from former users’ blog posts to the contents of their hard drives. Cybertown Revival, or CTR, successfully launched a pre-alpha version of a new Cybertown earlier this year. But since 2019, a group of former citizens has dedicated itself to resurrecting their old home. So the Construction of Virtual 3-D city models is a most interesting research topic in recent years.Coming back to your hometown can be an alienating experience, especially when all you find is a dead link to a long-deserted website.įor nearly a decade, that was the experience of Cytonians - members of an early virtual world called Cybertown, which operated between 19. Photo-realistic, Scalable, Geo-referenced virtual 3-D City model is a very useful for various kinds of applications such as for planning in Navigation, Tourism, Disasters Management, Transportations, Municipality, Urban Environmental Managements and Real-estate industry. Point cloud model is a modern trend for virtual 3-D city model. Each and every techniques and method has some advantages and some drawbacks.

Photogrammetry, (Close range, Aerial, Satellite), Lasergrammetry, GPS, or combination of these modern Geomatics techniques play a major role to create a virtual 3-D City model.

This paper gives an overview about the Techniques related with 'Generation of Virtual 3-D City models using Geomatics Techniques' and the Applications of Virtual 3D City models. In the last, we are trying to give the conclusions of this research paper and also giving a short view for justification and analysis, and present trend for 3D City modeling. After details study of this, finally in short, we are trying to give the conclusions of this study.

These techniques divided in to two main categories: one is based on Automation (Automatic, Semi-automatic and Manual methods), and another is Based on Data input techniques (one is Photogrammetry, another is Laser Techniques). We start this paper from the introduction of various Geomatics techniques for 3D City modeling. Generally three main Geomatics approach are using for Virtual 3-D City models generation, in first approach, researcher are using Conventional techniques such as Vector Map data, DEM, Aerial images, second approach are based on High resolution satellite images with LASER scanning, In third method, many researcher are using Terrestrial images by using Close Range Photogrammetry with DSM & Texture mapping. 3D city models are basically a computerized or digital model of a city contains the graphic representation of buildings and other objects in 2.5 or 3D. There are various terms used for 3D city models such as 'Cybertown', 'Cybercity', 'Virtual City', or 'Digital City'. 3D city model is a digital representation of the Earth's surface and it's related objects such as Building, Tree, Vegetation, and some manmade feature belonging to urban area.
