Three Dimensional (3D) GIS Modeling for High Buildings and Applications

Abstract

Our world is becoming more and more interested in virtual city modeling. This trend coincides with the need to better understand the spatially related problems and issues visually. With the increase types of information that can be linked spatially, and also, the increase size of population and buildings, better city planning to manage the third dimension is becoming a necessity. Meanwhile, 3D virtual city models do not have to be accurate but well representing the reality. Thus the paper is presenting a simple procedure to follow for a study area to show the effectiveness of such approach in 3D modeling for Cadastral, real estate evaluation purposes.

Application of a Virtual Geosciences Modeling System in Digital City Construction

“…Yao, J. offered the development of a virtual reality urban planning tool based on GIS and virtual environments to facilitate scenario generation and collaborative urban design [5]. With the increase types of information that can be linked spatially, and also, the increase size of population and buildings, better city planning to manage the third dimension is becoming a necessity [6].…”
