Abstract
 Virtual Reality Fly-Through Model for the UL Lafayette Campus Track: Modeling Author(s): Alaa Shams Data transformations applied to different sets of GIS data packages and digital photo imagery can reveal useful information of a geographical area. In this paper we report the construction of a 3D model of the University of Louisiana (UL) at Lafayette campus. We extruded 3D building models from 2D imagery, DOQQ, DEM, CAD and GIS datasets. We processed airborne-collected LIDAR data to extrude the height of the buildings. These 3D models are placed in their real-world coordinates, and realistic texture is then draped on the sides of the buildings. Finally, we can create a virtual reality fly-through of the UL, Lafayette campus. The fly-through is rendered in an immersive display environment. Our ongoing work includes automating this process for larger areas of interest.
