Abstract
With the support of edge computing, the synergy and collaboration among central cloud, edge cloud, and terminal devices form an integrated computing ecosystem known as the Cloud-Edge-Client architecture. This integration unlocks the value of data and computational power, presenting significant opportunities for large-scale 3D scene modeling and XR presentation. In this paper, we explore the perspectives and highlight new challenges on 3D scene modeling and XR presentation based on point cloud within the cloud–edge-client integrated architecture. We also propose a novel cloud–edge-client integrated technology framework and a demonstration of municipal governance to address these challenges.
