Large-scale 3D building and tree datasets constructed from airborne LiDAR point clouds in Glasgow, UK

Abstract

This is the updated version of building 3D model data. The revision includes appending attributes to the lod1 and lod2 shapefile and creating cityjson file for each 3D building model. All 3D building models are available in mesh (.obj), multipath shapefile, and cityjson (.json) now. IMPORTANT NOTE: We suggest using the building footprint, lod1, and lod2 data of this version (Version v4). Urban Big Data Centre of the University of Glasgow generates 3D city models via the airborne LiDAR point clouds acquired between 2020-2021 on behalf of Glasgow City Council. It is a large-scale 3D city model containing 3D information on terrain, trees, and buildings in Glasgow City. This dataset comprises terrain, tree canopy, and building products derived from high-density airborne LiDAR point clouds. The terrain products include Digital Terrain Model (DTM), Digital Surface Model (DSM), and normalized Digital Surface Model (nDSM) in 0.5 m spatial resolution. The DTM and DSM rasters were provided by the vendor and nDSM rasters were obtained by subtracting DTM from DSM. Terrain products are provided in 5 km by 5 km GeoTIF format raster. The tree canopy products are composed of canopy height models (CHM) and tree top locations. Classified tree point clouds were applied with pit-free algorithm to generate CHM in 0.5 m grid raster in GeoTIF format [1]-[2]. Treetop locations were identified by using Local Maximum Filter based on CHM and are recorded as points in Shapefile format. The tree canopy products are provided in 5 km by 5 km tiles. Building 3D model products include footprint polygons with building height attributes and 3D mesh of building models in LoD1 and LoD2 levels. A series of processes such as converting building point clouds to building height models (BHM), converting BHM to polygons, and polygon regularization were conducted to obtain the building footprint polygons. Building height attributes were calculated from BHM for each footprint. The building footprint data are provided in Shapefile format. LoD1 models were generated based on the footprint and average height of the building. LoD2 models were constructed based on footprint and building point cloud with City3D tool[3]. LoD1 and LoD2 models are provided in OBJ and shapefile format. Building 3D model products are provided in 5 km by 5 km tiles. The RMSE of Euclidean distances between each point in the point cloud to the reconstructed model was calculated to evaluate the LoD2 model construction. A table of RMSE and a note for a few problematic models are provided.
