GeoVRML: Open Web-based 3D Cartography

Volume modeling of soils using GRASS GIS 3D-Tools

The analysis of spatial variability of soils has been of interest to soil scientists and geographers for quite some time. Information on soil properties are usually available from a limited number of point measurements and spatial estimates are prepared in two dimensions (e.g. by interpolation or other technique). However, soil is essentially a 3D object with varying properties in all spatial d...

Information Cartography: Using GIS for Visualizing Non-Spatial Data

In 1982 Howard White and Belver Griffith proposed using authors as markers of "intellectual space" (White and Griffith, 1982). Since then, many in information science have made use of the metaphor between points in a real-world Cartesian coordinate system and points in abstract information spaces. "Spaces" now may be prefixed by the intellectual subtopic, such as cyberspace, conceptual space, d...

Development of 3D GIS Modeling Technology

Recent researches on Three-dimensional Geographic Information System (3D GIS) modeling technology were reviewed. The concept of 3D GIS modeling and its application in various fields were introduced. Essential techniques to realize 3D visualization were studied. A typical 3D GIS modeling usually contains the description and the transmission of GIS spatial data structure. GIS spatial data models ...
