Summary
The subject focuses on creation and manipulation of 3D models. According to type of modeled object (building, terrain, vegetation etc.) and data source parameters will be selected suitable method of 3D model creation, its resolution and complexity. Required form and environment for 3D model presentation will determine suitable format for its efective and lossless storage.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students should be able to create simple 3D model; select its suitable data structure in relation to data source specific and the way of its utilisation. They can make conversion the model into different software of data format and evaluate, if this conversion will be lossless.
