In a number of application scenarios, such as construction and inspection of largeinfrastructure, traffic visualization and archaeology, 3D models are used that capture the realworld at a very high level of detail, and store a large number of additional properties for eachrepresented object. In order to visually analyze such models it is necessary to provide anumber of visualization tools that can deal with such heterogeneous data in a seamless andintuitive way.
The project will research an integrated framework for visualization, navigation and interactionof both abstract and 3D geometric data. The research will be driven by a user-centered approachwhere successive prototypes will be evaluated in user studies. The tight integration of real-timerendering with state of the art information visualization will extend the applicability ofvisual analytics to problem classes that are tightly coupled to detailed realistic 3D models of thereal world.

In this project tools and methods for handling, administration, manipulation and evaluation of several different data sources for measurements and lighting design are developed.
Visualization and visual analysis of high-resolution surface reconstructions find a wide range of applications, from tunnel monitoring and archaeological excavations to the change management of cultural heritage buildings.
With the KAUST Scene Generator three-dimensional road networks can be generated from open-source OpenStreetMap data.
