CesiumDistrictDjangoCityDB

This project aims to display the effects of data availability on simulation in an interactive way, utilizing DistrictGenerator, Cesium JS, and three FZK Houses.

Project Overview

CesiumDistrictDjangoCityDB is developed by the DVG institute at TU Berlin for CityGML modeling and visualization. It combines various technologies to create an interactive platform for urban simulation and data visualization.

Features

• Interactive 3D visualization using Cesium JS
• Integration with DistrictGenerator for urban simulation
• Utilization of three FZK Houses for demonstration
• Database integration for storing and managing CityGML data

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Git
• 3D CityDB Importer/Exporter

Installation and Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://git.tu-berlin.de/bf_digi/cesiumDistrictDjangoCityDB.git
   cd cesiumDistrictDjangoCityDB

2. Configure the environment:

   • Copy the .env.example file to .env
   • Modify the .env file with your specific settings

3. Build and run the Docker containers:

   docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml build
   docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up

4. Import CityGML data:

   • Download the 3DCityDb importer-Exporter from here
   • Import the Energy-ade. You can download the ADE from CityGMLWiki
   • Use the 3D City Importer tool to load GML data into the database

Usage

After setting up the project, you can access the interactive visualization through your web browser at:
