Abstract

M2S1 is a Java application for creating virtual worlds based on road maps. A user scans an ordinary road map with a color scanner. M2S analyzes the image and produces a virtual world which is in accordance with the map. A rich user-interface lets the user edit and complete the generated 3D-model. A large number of properties can be set: from the background-image via the level of detail up to the algorithm to be used for a specific task. An included fly-through serves to explore and evaluate the result. The exporter tool of M2S currently supports VRML97 and Microsoft's X file format.
