In this project, I set up a 3D digital city system, call CityVis, which can renders building models extracted from KML format file (KML format is used in Google Earth to overlay information). In CityVis, user can modify the 3D buildings, including the sizes, positions, textures and so on. The system is implemented using VTK (Visualization Toolkit). Further research about 3D digital city is carried out in CityVis.

In this project, we propose a novel approach to low bit rate image coding. Our work is inspired by recent progress on image hallucination, which reconstructs a high resolution image from a low resolution image. In our approach, we combine the technique of image super-resolution with JEPG2000 standard for image compression. Experiments demonstrate that our approach can obtain higher visual quality compared with JEPG2000, when compressing images at the same low bit rate.
