Interesting project to use ML techniques to generate 3D models of lost places (though I disagree that manually collecting data from historical sources is tedious!) #digitalmapping #3d #digitalhumanities https://news.osu.edu/turning-old-maps-into-3d-digital-models-of-lost-neighborhoods/
Turning old maps into 3D digital models of lost neighborhoods
Imagine strapping on a virtual reality headset and “walking” through a long-gone neighborhood in your city – seeing the streets and buildings as they appeared decades ago.That’s a very real possibility now that researchers have developed a method to create 3D digital models of historic neighborhoods using machine learning and historic Sa...
