3D city models, digital models of urban terrain and objects are key for managing the complex urban information spaces.The semantically labelled LiDAR dataset can be used to create 3D models. These models reconstructed from the labelled point cloud are crucial to obtain a holistic view for several applications not restricted to infrastructure management, urban planning, emergency management, augmented reality. In this direction, algorithms and methodological approaches for reconstructing man-made planar structures such as buildings and natural resources such as trees from point cloud was developed. Some of the results of 3D models of trees and buildings obtained is shown in figures.
