Edo, Tokyo Landscapes Walk Through Based on Map Data

Abstract

It has passed 400 years from when Edo began, so there are almost only ferroconcrete buildings stands in a row in Tokyo. We can imagine a part of life of Edo from literatures and historical maps, but it is hard to know historical city Edo from urban city. So, we create virtual historical and urban city which can compare each other by using Computer Graphics. Our goal is to create digital archive contents for elementary and junior high education and tourist visiting Tokyo. In this paper, we describe some techniques for restoration and restorated landscape walk through.
