From 2D to 3D 1. Start from scratch 2. Use existing 2D digital maps
3D = 2D + 1D 2D Digital Map Add Texture Add Third Dimension
Laser-Altimetry GPS INS Laser Pulses (80,000/sec)
Computer-technology • Map -> Files • Lines -> Objects • Queries • compute fastest route A -> B • find varanasi university • determination of land owner when planning a new road • to monitor transportation • projection of a design on the existing (map) situation
Computertechnologie Dual architecture Layered architecture Integrated architecture
Conclusions • Without information people are living in blindness • Any geo-science needs geo-data and geo-information to achieve its goals and to tackle today’s complexity of earth-related problems, increasing geo-information is required • Geomatics is the science concerned with the developing of technologies and methodologies for collecting, storing, processing and dissemination of geo-data and geo-information • The processing of the mass of geo-data emerging from new sensor technologies requires automation
