Advanced Orthophoto LiDAR Integration Flythrough

This flythrough over The University of Calgary shows the successfull integration between LiDAR data and high resolution true-orthorectified aerial photographs.

This is part of my PhD research that involves integration of LiDAR, Photogrammetry, and GIS for improved realistic 3D visualization.

Well there is a number of sw used from point to point.
The Building DBM modelling was semi-automated using an extension that I developed using ArcObjects. The orthophoto was then generated using own developed program with the DTM + DBM as height source thus making the building boundaries crispier. I modelled somethings such as monuments and street furniture on sketchup, then joined everything on ArcScene (ArcGIS' 3D Analyst Extension).
Finally I used camtasia and/or windows movi maker to produce the final videos, adding the captions, music and stuff.

Damm, that's tremendous, I start soon my Master with similar topic and I have so many questions to you.. What programs did you use?

Hi, please read the updated video details. This is part of my PhD but still have a lot to do which will cover in deep the details about automating the DBM generation process and integration with GIS Databases.

wow! complete detailed aerial view using different application!

Excellent work and seemlessly integrated on first view.
