New Book About 3D Geoinformation Systems Presented During 3DGeoInfo Workshop At Delft University

During the second 3D Workshop at Delft University, a new book on 3DGeoInfo has been presented. 'Advances in 3D Geioinformation Systems' focuses on comparing several types of 3D models.

 

Due to the rapid developments in sensor techniques a vast amount of 3D data is available. Effective algorithms for (semi) automatic object reconstruction are required. Integration of existing 2D objects with height data is a non-trivial process and needs further research. The resulting 3D models can be maintained in several types of 3D models: TEN (Tetrahedral Network), Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) models, Regular Polytopes, TIN Boundary representation and 3D volume quad edge structure, layered/topology models, voxel based models, 3D models used in urban planning/polyhedrons, and n-dimensional models including time. 3D analysis and 3D simulation techniques explore and extend the possibilities in spatial applications.

GIS Technology professor Peter van Oosterom handed the proceedings to the mayor of the city of Delft during the 3D GeoInfo Workshop 2007 at Delft University. An article on this workshop will be published in GeoInformatics Magazine no. 1, 2008.
