In addition to the usual GIS information, we have now solutions to take advantage of spatial data analysis, captured with different acquisition technologies.
3D on a SDI • A 3D model allows to view and analyse complex situations • Having 3D in a Spatial Data Infrastructure is not expensive, most of the existing information is re-used • Must have, possibly, a continuum on the territory
3D on a SDI • The 3D model must be accessible for customised calculation • It must be able to represent existing 2D information (images, landscape, seismic, soil types, etc.) • It must help doing preliminary analysis (before doing real projects) • It should allow to see the environmental impact of big instalments, like dams, levees, bridges, etc.
Dams, levees and basins • Projects require a multi-disciplinary team, even for the feasibility study and risk analysis • 3D GIS allows to pre-analyse a bigger number of suitable places • Immediate view of • Watershed delineation • Storage Capacity • Affected territory • Environmental Impact
From 2D to 3D • A 3D representation of land requires the existing GIS information plus a DEM: • Aerial or Satellite imagery • Digital Elevation Model • ….plus any other existing layers
DbMAP Flyer Pro • A 3D model browsing tool • An open architecture to accept analysis methods • Measuring tools, among which: • Dams • Water Basins
Dam analysis • Mathematically and computationally simple: • Lowest elevation of the barrier • Determines the set of points at a lower elevation • Similar to calculating a water source spilling • It’s enough to consider only the elevation (and not the function derivatives)
Drainage basin analysis • Mathematically and computationally complex: • Each cell is considered a water source • Water moves following “deflux” direction, when its path crosses the basin it becomes part of it • Typical model of rainfall • Calculating each path is computationally not applicable
Drainage basin analysis • We needed to find a better way: • Determining homogeneous sub-regions • Flow of each cell is followed until it reaches a cell already calculated, or until possible, starting from cells at higher elevation
Deflux direction • 8 surrounding cells • Flow to lesser elevation (Jenson and Domingue 1988) – simple and computationally cheap, but it is discrete • Flow following maximum slope (discrete gradient providing a direction) – complex, but representing the reality.
First step: Deflux Regions Usingmaximumslope (discrete derivative)
Second step: Merge Regions Pointswithlesserelevation in a region Flowingintoanotherregion
Second step: merge regions • Still fragmented, also due to depressions • Frequent problem in DEMs due to imperfections • Eliminating imperfections on DEM (Jenson and Domingue ’88, Martz and Garbrecht J ’98) introduces arbitrariness (especially on flat land) • Better to eliminate depressions using a flooding model (Martz and de Jong ’88)
Second step: Merge Regions Simplificationusingflooding
Conclusions An new tool to: • Build 3D models which are representing the reality, which can be easily queried; • Run analysis, re-using existing studies and enhancing them; • Computationally affordable; • Avoid spending money for detailed project studies, when a preliminary analysis is possible.
